Legal Ditch Maps

In 2006 the watershed district received a Board of Water and Soil  Resources Challenge Grant (BWSR) to convert their legal ditch records into a digital GIS format.  The purpose of the project was to both inventory the existing legal ditch records and to convert them into a consistent format to make it easier to update the information in the future.

The project has been completed and now the public can access the products of this project in the form of printable maps.  Each legal ditch system has a .pdf map of the ditch alignment and benefit area.  There are two maps for each ditch system/project, one that contains an aerial photo background and the other contains a USGS topo quad background.  The maps can be printed or saved from the links below.  The ditch and benefit area GIS data can also be viewed through the BRRWD MapMaker Application.

Disclaimer: The BRRWD does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy of the data.  The data is meant for reference purposes only and should not be used for official decisions.  The data contained in the maps were compiled from the best available records that could be found and are likely not free from errors.  If you feel the data shown on the maps are not accurate, please contact the watershed district so we can review and resolve the errors if necessary.
