2022 Map of Two Buttes SE

About this map

Two Buttes Cem serves as a primary historical waypoint in this corner of Baca County, marking the sparse settlement pattern of the High Plains. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Buffalo Cr and Little Horse Cr, which cut through a strictly ordered grid of county roads. This network, including Co Rd RR and Co Rd VV, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how modern agriculture and transit are dictated by the original nineteenth-century townships such as t28s r44w and t28s r43w. The presence of Railroad 7 at the eastern edge of the quadrangle suggests the enduring role of transport infrastructure in these wide-open cattle and wheat lands. While largely devoid of dense urban centers, the map documents the essential landmarks of a rural community where every road junction and cemetery represents a critical point of local history.
