2013 Map of Durkee Creek NW

About this map

Plum Creek and Two Butte Creek carve meandering paths through the high plains of Prowers County, revealing the drainage patterns that define this agricultural landscape. The map illustrates a strictly organized section-line grid of rural routes, including CO Road AA and CO Road 28, which facilitate movement between the vast open tracts of the Colorado interior. This area is characterized by a sparse settlement pattern, where the watercourses represent the primary breaks in the geometric regularity of the Public Land Survey System. Genealogists and historians can trace the precise boundaries of townships like t024s r043w and t025s r042w, seeing how the rural road network, such as CO Road 31, follows the early 20th-century division of the land.
