1966 Map of Two Butte Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Two Butte Springs serves as a central landmark in this high plains landscape of Prowers County, where the relief of the watercourse breaks the surrounding plateau. The drainage network is clearly defined by the paths of Two Butte Creek, Plum Creek, and Durkee Creek, illustrating the natural irrigation and erosion patterns of the region. This mid-1960s survey captures a rural environment focused on land management, evidenced by the numerous red dashed lines indicating fence and field boundaries identified through aerial photography. Scattered wells across the landscape point to the importance of groundwater for sustaining life and livestock in this semi-arid corner of Colorado. The southern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the winding path of Dry Creek, showing the varied topography that transitions from flat plains to complex drainages.
