1971 Map of Twin Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high plains of the Colorado borderlands are defined here by the winding drainages of North Butte Creek and Two Butte Creek, which carve through the arid landscape of Prowers and Baca Counties. Mapping based on 1969 aerial photography reveals a region deeply tied to its water sources, with numerous Wells distributed across the prairie to support livestock and habitation. A single isolated Grave in the northwestern quadrant serves as a poignant reminder of the early settlers who worked this remote terrain. The presence of a prominent Pipeline and scattered Gravel Pits indicates the evolving industrial footprint of the early 1970s, while the southern reaches are marked by the seasonal flow of Little Bear Creek as it nears the state line.
