Rattlesnake Cr cuts through this high plains landscape on the border of Arapahoe and Elbert counties, illustrating the drainage patterns that define the local topography. The area is characterized by a series of north-trending incisions including Hay Gulch, Mule Gulch, and Willow Gulch, which provide a natural counterpoint to the rigid grid of the Public Land Survey System. The most notable human landmark is the uniquely named Happy Butt Airport, a private landing strip situated among the section lines of the western plateau.
