2019 Map of Dripping Spring

About this map

Dripping Spring serves as the central focal point of this arid landscape in Bent County, where several intermittent drainage networks converge. The terrain is defined by the carved paths of Rattlesnake Cr and Little Angry Cr, highlighting a topography shaped by seasonal water flow rather than permanent settlements. A sparse network of rural routes, including Co RD M and Co RD S, provides the only modern infrastructure through the township and range divisions. The map reveals a remote ranching or grazing environment where water sources like E Mud Cr and Mud Cr are critical landmarks. This 2019 survey documents a vast, open territory, largely unchanged in its primary drainage patterns and limited road access since the early twentieth century.
