2016 Map of Sunken Lake

About this map

Jackson Reservoir and its associated water management systems dominate this Morgan County landscape, reflecting the essential role of irrigation in the high plains. The area is defined by a series of significant waterworks, including the Weldon Valley Ditch and the Riverside Intake Canal, which channel resources through the arid terrain. The natural drainage pattern is marked by several dry beds or ephemeral streams, notably Coal Bank Draw, Greasewood Draw, and the various branches of Cottonwood Draw. A quiet Foot Trail skirts the western edge of the reservoir, while the surrounding grid of county roads, such as Co RD CC and Co RD 4, organizes the agricultural sections of t5n r60w and t6n r60w. Small features like Sunken Lake provide localized points of interest within this vast, managed hydraulic environment.
