1996 Map of Campo

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this Southeast Colorado landscape, where the small settlement of Campo serves as the primary hub for this corner of Baca County. The map details a transition from the structured street grid of the town—complete with a Park, Storage Bins, and Sewage Disposal Ponds—to the open, rolling terrain of the shortgrass prairie. The topography is defined by the winding paths of North Ute Canyon and West Ute Canyon, which converge near distinctive geological markers like Devils Elbow. These drainages, alongside Murray Draw and North Pickel House Draw, reveal the natural hydrological patterns crucial to the region's agricultural history. Local infrastructure is noted by a Cem northeast of town and a remote Landing Strip, illustrating the vast distances and specialized transportation needs of the High Plains.
