About this map

The N Fork Republican River valley anchor this High Plains landscape, where the town of Wray serves as a vital regional hub. Water management infrastructure is a defining characteristic of the terrain, evident in the complex network of the Laird Canal, Haigler Canal, and the Wray Watershed District Reservoir Number 3. These features, alongside Olive Lake, illustrate the historical and ongoing efforts to harness the river for local agriculture and industry.

Civic life and local heritage are centered in the town's grid, featuring the Yuma County Courthouse and Grandview Cem. The area’s connection to aviation is documented by both the Wray Municipal Airport to the northwest and the private Whomble Airport to the south. Numerous drainage features like Hayes Gulch, Holy Joe Cr, and Olive Cr carve through the surrounding plains, mapping the natural hydrology of eastern Colorado.
