Big Springs Ranch and the surrounding El Paso County plains appear here in the early 1970s, characterized by a sparse, ranch-oriented landscape. The map is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Black Squirrel Creek, Big Springs Creek, and Brackett Creek, which snake through the arid terrain. The water sources for which the area is named, including the original Big Springs and several unnamed Springs, provided the essential foundation for settlement in this high-plains environment.
