2013 Map of Two Buttes NW

About this map

The boundary between Prowers and Baca counties bisects this High Plains landscape, where the drainage of Two Butte Creek carves a winding path across the township lines. This 2013 survey illustrates a highly structured agricultural grid, defined by an extensive network of rural routes such as Co Road 18 and Co Road XX. The terrain is characterized by the subtle elevation changes of the creek valleys, including North Butte Creek in the northern sections and the headwaters of Little Bear Creek in the southeast corner. The map documents the persistent rectangular survey system of the American West, showing the precise intersection of section lines and the various local connectors like Co Road H that facilitate movement through this sparsely populated ranching and farming region.
