About this map

The South Platte River corridor dominates the landscape of Logan County, defining the agricultural and civic layout of Sterling during this 2016 survey. This map illustrates the intricate water management system essential to the region's productivity, featuring a network of irrigation works including the North Sterling Canal, Sterling Number 2 Ditch, and Bravo Ditch. These waterways carve through the terrain alongside natural features like Cedar Creek and its branches, supporting both the municipality and the outlying rural acreage.

Civic life and infrastructure are centered in the southern portion of the sheet, where Northeastern Jr Coll and Sunset Memorial Gardens Cem anchor the community's footprint. The map documents the city's modern street grid and its connection to the surrounding plains via an extensive system of county roads, while also highlighting water storage at the C A Sherwin Reservoir Number 1 and its counterpart to the west.
