1966 Map of Two Butte Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Two Butte Springs and the winding course of Two Butte Creek anchor this mid-1960s survey of the southeastern Colorado landscape. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Plum Creek, Durkee Creek, and Dry Creek, which cut through the high plains topography. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching environment where water sources and crossings were vital to movement, evidenced by the presence of a lone Ford across the main creek. Scattered well sites across the quadrangle suggest a heavy reliance on groundwater for agriculture or livestock in this arid portion of Prowers County. The layout of section lines and fence boundaries indicates an established pattern of large landholdings typical of the High Plains during this era.
