1951 Map of Sterling South

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Platte River and its intricate network of irrigation channels define this landscape south of Sterling. Water management is the central theme of the terrain, with the Lowline Ditch, Batten Ditch, and Schneider Ditch branching off to support the local agriculture that fed the prominent Sugar Factory. The river itself creates complex landforms like Hadfield Island, while the presence of the Burlington Northern and Union Pacific railroads underscores the city's role as a regional transportation hub during the mid-twentieth century.
