2017 Map of Swaggart Buttes

About this map

Swaggart Buttes stands as a central topographic landmark in this high-desert portion of Morrow County, where a complex network of canyons and drainage systems defines the landscape. The map details a transition from the elevated peaks of the buttes down into deeply incised features like Strawberry Canyon and Bell Canyon. Local water resources are sparse, marked by points such as Munkers Spring and the Turner Reservoir in the northeast. The transport network consists largely of rural connectors, including Cutsforth Rd and Nichols Rd, which navigate the varying elevations. The drainage patterns of Sourdough Cr and the presence of numerous named canyons like Milk Canyon and Blackhorse Canyon illustrate the erosional character of this region. This survey serves as a clear record of land use and geography in the late 2010s, showing the intersection of natural drainage and modern rural infrastructure.
