1972 Map of Box Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Box Ranch sits at the northern edge of this high-plains landscape in southeastern Colorado, where the winding drainage of Bachicha Creek carves through the terrain. The map captures a transition in topography defined by Piñon Ridge to the northwest and the deep incisions of Chacuaco Creek to the southeast. These ephemeral watercourses and scattered springs suggest a land primarily utilized for large-scale ranching and grazing during the early 1970s. A prominent Pipeline cuts a straight path across the western sections, crossing township boundaries between Range 58 West and Range 57 West. This utility infrastructure, alongside a network of unimproved roads and fence lines, reflects the sparse but functional industrial and agricultural footprint in this corner of Las Animas County.
