1966 Map of Durkee Creek NW

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Two Butte Creek winds through the eastern plains of Prowers County, defining a landscape where water management and shifting terrain meet. This mid-1960s survey documents a sparse agricultural and rangeland environment, characterized by the Lamar Canal in the northwest and a network of seasonal drainages including Plum Creek and Durkee Creek. A notable topographical feature is the extensive area of Shifting Sand along the eastern margin, indicating the active dune formations typical of this high plains region. The map provides a precise record of rural infrastructure, from a lonely Radio Tower to numerous fence and field lines that mark out the sectioned land of the high prairie. The sparse settlement pattern emphasizes the dominance of the natural landscape and the critical role of irrigation and creek systems in the local economy.
