1982 Map of Eureka Creek North

About this map

Twin Buttes rises as a prominent landmark in this high plains landscape of Cheyenne County, surveyed in the mid-1970s and published in the early 1980s. The terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of Eureka Creek and Little Spring Creek, which cut through the open rangeland. Human activity in this arid environment is clearly marked by the presence of numerous Tank sites and a Well, indicating the critical importance of water management for cattle ranching or local industry. This survey captures the rural character of the eastern Colorado plains before contemporary developments, showcasing the section lines and township boundaries of T 12 S and T 13 S that structured early settlement and land ownership in the region.
