2010 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Peetz Table dominates the northern landscape of this Logan County quadrangle, where a complex network of man-made irrigation infrastructure meets the high plains. The map details an extensive system of water management including the North Sterling Outlet Canal and numerous laterals such as North Sterling Lateral Number 52 and North Sterling Lateral Number 44. These features, alongside the Twin Buttes Ditch, reveal the intensive agricultural engineering required to sustain the region. For those researching local burial sites and family histories, both the Barber Cemetery in the northwest and Lynch Cemetery near the eponymous Twin Buttes are clearly marked. Natural drainages like McCracken Draw and Johnson Draw feed into the Johnson Draw Reservoir, illustrating the varied terrain of draws and creeks that characterize this corner of Colorado.
