2013 Map of Buttes

About this map

Fountain Creek and the arterial corridor of Interstate 25 dominate this landscape south of Fountain, where the transition from El Paso to Pueblo County unfolds across a mix of ranching lands and modern residential subdivisions. The eastern side of the drainage is defined by The Buttes and the historic Wilson Cem, while the western hills are etched with a dense network of residential street names like Paleface Pt and Ghost Walk Pt. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the R D Nixon Reservoir and the Cotton Slough Ditch, which divert and manage the flow of Little Fountain Cr and Sand Creek. Smaller locales such as Wigwam and Henkel sit near the county line, representing established points along the north-south transportation routes that have historically connected these Colorado communities.
