2017 Map of Lena

About this map

Little Butter Creek carves a deep path through this portion of Morrow County, creating a landscape defined by sharp drainage systems and prominent elevations. The small settlement of Lena sits near the confluence of several named draws, including Jones Canyon and Luckman Canyon, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and agricultural lands. For those researching local history or genealogy, the Pleasant Point Cemetery is a significant landmark situated along Little Butter Creek Road. The terrain transitions from the heights of Morris Butte in the north to Jones Hill in the south, with the land deeply incised by numerous canyons such as Milk Canyon, Ayers Canyon, and Buttermilk Canyon. This 2017 survey illustrates how modern road networks like County Road 813 follow the natural contours of this high-desert geography.
