About this map

The northern reaches of Sterling anchor this Logan County landscape, where the residential grid meets an intricate network of early 21st-century water management. The city's northern neighborhoods and the Northeastern Junior College campus sit at the edge of a complex irrigation system essential to the regional economy. Numerous man-made channels, including the Lowline Ditch, Springdale Ditch, and Sterling Number 2 Ditch, draw from the South Platte River to feed the surrounding plains.

North of the city, the terrain is defined by the North Sterling Canal and the C A Sherwin Reservoir Number 2, alongside the winding course of Cedar Creek. Local landmarks such as the Sunset Memorial Gardens Cem and established rural routes like Co RD 40 and Co RD 34 provide a detailed framework for genealogists tracing family properties. This survey captures a moment of modern agricultural engineering and municipal growth in the Colorado high plains.
