2024 Map of Colgan SE

About this map

Twin Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Divide County, anchoring a landscape defined by the prairie pothole region of the northern Great Plains. The map highlights the area's spiritual and social history through the presence of the Twin Butte Lutheran Cem and Trinity Lutheran Cem, which stand as enduring markers of early rural congregation sites. This 2024 survey documents a region where agricultural land use is balanced with conservation efforts, most notably within the Divide County Waterfowl Production Area. A systematic grid of section lines and local routes like 130th Ave NW and Co Rd 14 provides access to these remote parcels, illustrating the persistent 160-acre homesteading pattern established over a century ago in the northwestern corner of the state.
