About this map

Sterling sits at the heart of an intricate hydraulic landscape in Logan County, where the South Platte River and its accompanying network of irrigation ditches define the local geography. This survey documents the sophisticated water management systems essential to the High Plains, including the North Sterling Canal, Lowline Ditch, and the Henderson Smith Ditch. These waterways run alongside smaller rural points such as Hayford and Ackerman, illustrating the long-standing relationship between the river corridor and regional agriculture.

To the north, the terrain transitions into the drainages of Cedar Creek and North Branch Cedar Creek, anchored by the C A Sherwin Reservoir Number 2. Local landmarks like the Sunset Memorial Gardens Cemetery and the settlement of Camp Bright provide specific points of interest for genealogists and researchers tracking the development of the river valley. The grid of county roads, including Pioneer Rd, connects the urban core of the city to its outlying farming communities.
