2019 Map of Two Buttes NW

About this map

The high plains of Southeast Colorado are defined by the winding course of Two Butte Creek as it carves through the transition between Prowers Co and Baca Co. This landscape, documented in 2019, retains the orderly grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t27s r45w and t26s r44w marking the vast agricultural and grazing lands. A solitary marker of early settlement remains at the Hamilton Cem, located near the intersection of Co RD 16 and Co RD F. The drainage network, including N Butte Cr and Little Bear Cr, dictates the local topography, while a network of numbered county roads provides the primary infrastructure across this sparsely populated section of the state.
