2017 Map of Red Willow Dam

About this map

Hugh Butler Lake dominates the northern landscape of this region along the border of Frontier and Red Willow counties. Formed by the Red Willow Dam, the reservoir is a central feature of an area defined by its water management and agricultural infrastructure, including the Culbertson Extension Canal and Spencer Reservoir. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as River Canyon and Bee Canyon, which reveal the drainage patterns feeding into Red Willow Cr. For those tracing local heritage, the Zion Hill Cem stands as a notable landmark among the section lines and rural roads. The map illustrates a modern rural landscape where traditional land divisions meet significant 20th-century water projects, creating a unique intersection of natural topography and engineering.
