About this map

The South Platte River carves a distinctive path through this landscape, anchoring the development of Sterling and its surrounding agricultural infrastructure. The city's northern neighborhoods show a structured grid with streets like Cheyenne Blvd and Columbine St, while the Logan County Courthouse stands as a central civic landmark. This modern record highlights the intricate water management system essential to the region, featuring the Sterling Lateral Number 1, Batten Ditch, and Sterling Number 2 Ditch.

Beyond the residential core, the map reveals rural landmarks including Riverside Cem and the prominent Hadfield Island situated within the river's channel. The eastern terrain transitions into more open country, marked by Old Pole Rd and the broad expanse of Jones Flat. The presence of Twin Mills and various named ditches underscores the area's long-standing reliance on the river for both industry and irrigation.
