About this map

Swaggart Buttes stands as a prominent landmark in this dissected plateau of Morrow County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and named canyons defines the landscape. The geography is marked by steep transitions between high ground and deep draws, including Strawberry Canyon and Piper Canyon in the north. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by the presence of Turner Reservoir and Munkers Spring, vital points of interest for those studying the agricultural and ranching history of the region.

A network of local ranch roads, such as Cutsforth Rd and Dee Cox Rd, provides access across the townships. The drainage patterns of Willow Cr and Sourdough Cr illustrate the watershed's movement through Bell Canyon and Blackhorse Canyon. This map serves as a clear record of land division and rural infrastructure, documenting the exact placement of loops and lanes that connect these remote family-named geographical features.
