About this map

Two Butte Creek meanders through this section of Prowers County, defining a landscape of intermittent drainage and rural infrastructure at the turn of the 21st century. The map illustrates a strictly organized grid of local travel routes, including County Road AA and County Road BB, which intersect the north-south alignment of County Road 31.

Aside from the major waterway of Two Butte Creek, the hydrology of the area is further defined by Plum Creek and Durkee Creek, which join or parallel the larger drainage system. This survey represents the quiet, agricultural character of the High Plains, where the terrain is marked by broad elevations and the vital paths of seasonal watercourses. The grid of county roads provides a clear view of land division and access in this sparsely populated corner of Colorado.
