2010 Map of Buttes

About this map

Fountain Creek and the drainage of Sand Creek define this landscape south of Colorado Springs as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map centers on the community of Buttes, where the infrastructure of the R D Nixon Dam and R D Nixon Reservoir stands as a significant hydrological landmark. This area showcases a transition from traditional agricultural land use, evidenced by the 7 L Bar Ranch and Midway Ranch, to a modern network of planned residential streets with evocative western names like Rattlesnake Pt and Ghost Walk Pt.
