2021 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Twin Buttes rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Garden County, Nebraska, where the arid high plains meet a sophisticated network of early twentieth-century water management. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Blue Cr, which is supported by a series of irrigation works including the Hooper Canal, Paisley Canal, and Blue Canal. These man-made waterways indicate the area's agricultural history, transforming the natural drainage patterns of Ash Cr and the intermittent flows from Rattlesnake Spring and Dugout Spring into a productive landscape. A strictly organized grid of county roads, such as RD 70 and RD 201, provides the primary framework for local travel across the sprawling ranchland and township sections.
