2016 Map of Durkee Creek NW

About this map

Two Butte Cr and Plum Cr carve subtle drainage patterns through this Prowers County landscape, defining the rural character of the High Plains near the Kansas border. The 2016 survey illustrates a strictly organized agricultural grid system, where section lines are traced by a network of county roads including Co Rd 28 and Co Rd 31. The topography is relatively level, marked by gentle contours that descend toward the creek beds. This map captures the modern land management of the region, showing how the Public Land Survey System has dictated the placement of transit corridors like Co Rd Aa and Co Rd U across the prairie. The minimal development recorded here reflects the enduring reliance on open acreage and seasonal watercourses in this corner of Colorado.
