1893 Map of Two Butte

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail cuts a diagonal path across this high plains landscape at the corner of Bent, Prowers, and Baca counties. Surveyed in 1890, the map documents a network of early pioneer settlements and water sources essential for livestock and travel. Isolated outposts like Brookfield, Mulyane, and Ayr dot the vast terrain, while the Longshore Ranch indicates the established ranching economy of the late nineteenth century.
