2019 Map of Vallery

About this map

Kent Airport and the corridor of I-76 define the northern edge of this Morgan County landscape, where the flat plains are carved by the intermittent flows of the Bijou Creek system. The map illustrates a strictly organized agricultural and ranching grid, marked by the reliable geometry of Bijou Canal and a network of section-line roads like Co RD Q and Co RD 12. This 2019 survey documents a rural environment where infrastructure is concentrated near the interstate, including Energy Rd and Frontage Rd, while the southern reaches remain dominated by the natural drainage patterns of Sand Arroyo Cr. The stark contrast between the engineered irrigation of the canal and the seasonal wash of the arroyo highlights the ongoing management of water in the high plains region.
