About this map

The North Platte River winds through the southern reaches of this landscape, anchoring a complex system of irrigation essential to the high plains near the Wyoming and Nebraska border. Agricultural development is defined by an extensive network of waterways, including the Interstate Canal, N Platte Ditch, and several numbered laterals like Lateral Number 2 and Lateral Number 4 that distribute water across the grid-patterned fields.

Settlement is concentrated along the river corridor and major transit lines, featuring the town of Torrington and the smaller community of Henry at the state line. To the south, Hunton Meadows provides a distinct geographical landmark amidst the drainages of Sheep Cr. The map captures the intricate relationship between the natural river path and the man-made infrastructure required for the region's ranching and farming operations, evidenced by the numerous section roads such as RD 122 and Henry Rd.
