2013 Map of Twin Buttes

About this map

Peetz Table overlooks a complex network of agricultural irrigation in this Logan County landscape. The terrain is defined by significant drainage features such as Johnson Draw and Mc Cracken Draw, which feed into an intricate system of canals and laterals. Large-scale water management is evident through the presence of the N Sterling Outlet Canal, Twin Buttes Ditch, and the Harmony Ditch Number 1. These engineered waterways reflect the area's transition from open range to intensive cultivation. Cultural markers for genealogists include Barber Cem in the northwest and Lynch Cem near the distinctive Twin Buttes landform. The map also records the numerous numbered laterals, including N Sterling Lateral Number 46 and N Sterling Lateral Number 52, illustrating the fine-grained distribution of water across this high plains environment.
