The North Platte River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, marking a vital water corridor along the Goshen Co Sioux Co border. This region, captured in 2015, is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure essential to High Plains agriculture. The Interstate Canal cuts across the northern terrain, supplemented by numerous managed waterways including Lateral Number 4, Lateral Number 3, and the Lateral 7 Main. These systems support the rural reaches surrounding Torrington and the low-lying Hunton Meadows. The map reveals a highly structured grid of section lines and county roads, such as Road 140 and Road 64, which frame the agricultural tracts of the Platte Valley. Intersecting the state line between Wyoming and Nebraska, the survey documents the precise intersection of water management and political boundaries in the American West.
