About this map

Peetz Table dominates the northern reaches of this Logan County landscape, a prominent plateau characterized by a grid of rural roads such as County Rd 76 and County Rd 67. The Lauderback School stands as a focal point for the surrounding homesteads, marking a site of local community history in this agricultural region. The terrain is deeply inscribed by natural drainage patterns, including the winding course of Cottonwood Creek and the steep descents of Spring Canyon and Wild Horse Draw.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the sophisticated irrigation infrastructure in the south. The North Sterling Outlet Canal and its associated distributaries, North Sterling Lateral Number 40 and North Sterling Lateral Number 42, illustrate how the High Plains landscape was adapted for cultivation. Landmarks like Haystack Butte and the descriptive Weeping Rock Springs provide natural navigational points across this expansive stretch of Colorado.
