About this map

Peetz Table dominates the central landscape of this Logan County quadrangle, where the high plains begin to break into the drainage systems of the South Platte River basin. The geography is defined by the sharp descent from this plateau into the Lewis Canyons, where Lewis Creek carves through the terrain. A strictly rectangular grid of county roads, such as County Rd-74 and County Rd-45, sections the agricultural land, reflecting the systematic land survey patterns of the American West. The solitary mention of Buss Ranch in the eastern sector serves as a reminder of the region's ranching heritage. Seasonal watercourses like Cow Creek in the north and Beall Creek in the southwest illustrate the intermittent hydrology of this high-plains environment during the early 21st century.
