About this map

Two Butte Creek winds through the high plains of Prowers County, carving a distinct drainage path across a landscape defined by its grid of rural section roads and grazing land. The drainage of Plum Creek enters from the west, converging toward the larger creek system in a region characterized by wide open spaces and sparse development.

This corner of southeastern Colorado is mapped in high detail, showing the intricate network of county routes such as Co RD 31 and Co RD Aa that facilitate movement between ranching properties. The topography reveals the subtle shifts in elevation that dictate the flow of ephemeral watercourses like Two Butte Creek, providing an essential record of the local hydrology and land divisions in this agricultural frontier.
