2022 Map of Two Buttes NW

About this map

The high plains of Southeast Colorado, specifically the borderlands between Prowers and Baca counties, are defined here by a network of ephemeral drainage systems. The meandering path of Two Butte Creek serves as a primary geographic anchor, cutting through the landscape alongside its namesake Two Butte Cr. To the north, the waters of N Butte Cr carve through the terrain, while Little Bear Cr occupies the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. For those researching local family history, the Hamilton Cem stands as a significant landmark, situated near the intersection of several section-line roads like Co RD F and Co RD 16. This map reflects the structured township-and-range system of the American West, where the landscape is systematically divided into grids that dictate the placement of both rural cemeteries and the county road network.
