2013 Map of North Plum Creek SE

About this map

Plum Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this section of Prowers County, where the high plains landscape is deeply etched by seasonal watercourses. This 2013 survey documents the drainage patterns of North Plum Creek, Middle Plum Creek, and South Plum Creek, which converge as they move through the township boundaries of T025S R044W and T026S R043W. The terrain is structured by a strict section-line road grid, including CO Road S and CO Road 28, which facilitates movement across this agricultural and ranching territory. In the southeastern portion, the distinct channels of North Butte Creek and Two Butte Creek illustrate the transition toward the Butte Creek watershed. For researchers, the map provides a precise record of the early 21st-century rural infrastructure and the persistent influence of hydrology on the division of land in the Colorado plains.
