2013 Map of Wiggins SW

About this map

The high plains of Colorado are defined here by a series of parallel drainage systems, including Kiowa Creek, Jack Rabbit Creek, and Mule Creek, which carve gentle north-trending valleys through the landscape. This 2013 survey of the region where Morgan, Weld, and Adams counties meet reveals a sparsely populated agricultural environment dominated by a rigid section-line road grid. The Westberg-Rosling Farms Airport serves as a lone named landmark amidst the vast stretches of ranchland and dry-land farming. Human engineering of the local hydrology is evident in the Nile Ditch in the southeastern corner, which diverted water for early 20th-century irrigation efforts. The primary east-west corridor across this territory is Co-52, providing a vital link for the isolated farmsteads situated between Goose Creek and the surrounding county boundaries.
