About this map

Lake Meredith dominates this Crowley County landscape, serving as a focal point for the region's managed water network. The importance of irrigation to this high plains environment is evident in the intricate system of the Sugar City Lateral, Lake Meredith Inlet, and the Lake Meredith Outlet. These man-made and modified waterways support the surrounding agricultural lands near the settlements of Ordway and Sugar City.

Tracing the street grids reveals the organized layout of Sugar City, where residential avenues like W Denver Ave and E Baltimore Ave extend from the central core. To the north, the Lakeview Cem provides a genealogical touchstone for local families. The Western edge of the map shows the proximity of the Ordway Town Reservoir, emphasizing the critical role of water storage in the development and sustainment of these high-desert communities.
