2013 Map of Two Buttes SE

About this map

Little Horse Creek and Buffalo Creek trace a distinct drainage pattern across this high plains landscape of Baca County, where the topography is defined by the sharp incisions of these seasonal waterways. The terrain reveals the organized grid of the Public Land Survey System, with section lines marked by a network of county roads including Co Road 39 and Co Road 42. This rural character is anchored by the Two Buttes Cem in the western portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary landmark for genealogists and local historians tracing the settlement history of the region. The map shows the transition from flat upland mesas to the breaks and draws created by the watercourses, all bisected by the straight path of Co-116 running east-west across the center of the survey area.
