2010 Map of Tamarack Ranch

About this map

The South Platte River cuts through the northern reaches of this Logan County landscape, serving as the primary geographic anchor for a network of irrigation works including the Sprague Brothers Ditch and Long Island Ditch. This 2010 survey reflects a rural agricultural environment characterized by a strictly organized grid of section lines and access routes such as County Rd 50 and County Rd 48. Evidence of local landownership and long-standing agricultural operations is found in the named properties of Tamarack Ranch, Barden Ranch, and Yost Ranch. The map highlights the reliance on river-fed water systems to support ranching in this High Plains region, showing how human engineering has adapted to the arid terrain through a series of ditches and canals that parallel the river's winding course.
