About this map

Campo serves as the primary hub for this corner of Baca County, where the agricultural grid of the High Plains meets the protected expanse of the Comanche National Grassland. The landscape south of town transforms from flat prairie into a complex system of breaks and drainages, most notably Aubrey Canyon and Ute Canyon. These natural features, along with several draws such as Murray Draw and Burrows Draw, define the hydrology of the region as it slopes toward the Oklahoma border.

Researchers will find a clear record of local infrastructure, including the Campo Cem and the diagonal path of US Hwy 287 385 slicing through the traditional section lines. The presence of Dripping Spring and the rugged Devils Elbow within the canyons indicates the vital water sources and topographical landmarks that have dictated land use and cattle movement in this arid environment for generations.
