About this map

The southern portion of Sterling and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Logan County define this 2019 survey. Centered on the South Platte River, the map illustrates a complex network of irrigation infrastructure essential to the region's high plains farming, including the Sterling Lateral Number 1, the N Schneider Ditch, and Batten Ditch. Within the city limits, the Logan County Courthouse serves as a prominent landmark amidst a grid of streets such as Cheyenne Blvd and Fairhurst St.

Transitioning from the urban center to the river bottomlands, the geography features Hadfield Island and several water bodies like Schumans Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate Riverside Cem on the western bank of the river, while further east, the terrain rises toward Jones Flat and the small settlement at Twin Mills. The map effectively documents the intersection of municipal development and the water management systems that sustain the eastern Colorado prairie.
