1951 Map of Sterling North

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Platte River corridor north of Sterling reveals a landscape defined by an intricate network of irrigation and heavy rail infrastructure. This mid-century survey illustrates how water management shaped Logan County, with numerous canals like the Sterling No 1 Ditch, Lowline Ditch, and Bravo Ditch branching away from the river to support local agriculture. The northern growth of the city is anchored by Sterling Junior College and public spaces such as Pioneer Park, while the presence of the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern railroads highlights the area's role as a vital transportation hub.
