2022 Map of North Plum Creek SE

About this map

Plum Creek and its many seasonal tributaries define the landscape of this southeastern Colorado plateau in Prowers County. The map details a complex drainage network where Durkee Creek and North Plum Creek converge in the north, while the southern reaches are marked by the presence of South Plum Creek and Middle Plum Creek. These intermittent waterways have carved deep undulations into the terrain, a characteristic typical of the high plains before they descend toward the river valleys. A strict grid of county roads, such as County Road 22 and County Road R, partitions the land into large ranching or agricultural sections, illustrating the persistent influence of the Public Land Survey System. The map also captures the path of Two Butte Creek and North Butte Creek as they traverse the southern edge of this quadrangle.
