About this map

Plum Creek and its many branches form the primary drainage system of this high plains region in Prowers County. The map details the intricate hydrography of the area, including North Plum Creek, Middle Plum Creek, and South Plum Creek, which converge to feed the main stem. Further south, the landscape is defined by the drainage of Two Butte Creek and North Butte Creek, illustrating the natural water management patterns essential to this agricultural landscape.

A rigid grid of section roads, such as County Road S and County Road J, organizes the territory, reflecting the long-established Public Land Survey System. These routes, including County Rd 27 and County Rd 24, provide the framework for the rural homesteads and agricultural operations that characterize this part of Colorado. The map captures the convergence of Durkee Creek into the Plum Creek system, showing how local topography dictates the placement of transit corridors.
