2010 Map of Dripping Spring

About this map

Selders Ranch stands as a primary landmark in this ranching landscape of Bent County, where the terrain is defined by a dendritic network of seasonal drainages. The naming of these waterways, such as Little Angry Creek, Rattlesnake Creek, and Cat Creek, suggests the challenges and character of the local environment. A complex grid of agricultural and access routes, including County Road M and County Road 32, overlays the natural course of Mud Creek and its tributary, East Mud Creek. The namesake Dripping Spring provides a rare water point in an otherwise arid expanse, marking a site of probable historical importance for local livestock operations and early travelers through the high plains.
