1953 Map of Twin Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Peetz Table dominates the northern landscape of this Logan County survey, a high plateau giving way to a network of draws and complex irrigation engineering. The map documents an intricate system of water management essential to the high plains, featuring the Sterling Outlet Canal and numerous numbered laterals like North Sterling Lateral No 52 and North Sterling Lateral No 46. These man-made waterways wind through the terrain alongside natural drainage like Johnson Draw and Mc Cracken Draw. Small-scale agricultural infrastructure is evident through several unnamed windmills and a Gravel Pit. Local history and genealogy are anchored by the namesake Twin Buttes landform and three distinct burial sites: Barber Cem in the northwest, Lynch Cem near the buttes, and a third solitary Cemetery centrally located, providing vital markers for researchers tracing early settlement patterns in this part of Colorado.
