2016 Map of Venango NW

About this map

Julesburg sits at the edge of this northeastern Colorado landscape, where the valley of the South Platte River meets the expansive high plains of Sedgwick County. The map details a transition from the river's riparian corridor to a grid-defined agricultural interior. Significant for local family historians, the Julesburg Hillside Cem is situated on the rising ground overlooking the town. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, visible in the course of the State Line Ditch and Spring Cr. The land is organized by a dense network of rural routes, including many county roads and sections of Trail Rd, reflecting the late-century reliance on precise section-line boundaries for property and transit in this corner of the state.
