2019 Map of Sterling North

About this map

The Sterling city center and its northern agricultural outskirts are defined by an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure along the South Platte River. This landscape reveals a complex water-rights system essential to the region, featuring major arteries like the North Sterling Canal and the Lowline Ditch. In the northern sections, the terrain transitions into more arid rangeland dotted with reservoirs such as A Sherwin Reservoir Number 2, showing the distinct boundary between river-fed cultivation and high plains ranching. Within the city limits, the map identifies key community anchors including Northeastern Junior College and Sunset Memorial Gardens Cem. The grid of Sterling is bordered by industrial and agricultural transport routes like Riverside Dr and numerous numbered county roads that follow the township and range survey lines.
