About this map

Minnie Butte rises as a prominent landmark in this corner of the High Plains, where the border between Union County and Harding County meets. The landscape is defined by its drainage network, with Tramperos Cr and Del Muerto Cr carving through the terrain. Small local clusters and family-named landmarks like Miera, Padilla, and Jeffrey reflect the sparse, ranch-oriented settlement patterns characteristic of this region.

Transportation through these high plains is marked by a grid of county roads, including CO Highway C-024 and CO Highway C-028. The map also details the Public Land Survey System divisions, specifically t22n r31e and its neighboring townships. These watercourses, such as Ventanas Cr and Church Cr, were historically vital for sustaining the livestock operations that shaped the local economy and land ownership.
