2022 Map of Dripping Spring

About this map

Dripping Spring emerges as a focal water source in this corner of Bent County, where the high plains landscape is defined by a network of intermittent drainage systems. The terrain is marked by the branching paths of Mud Cr and its eastern tributary, E Mud Cr, which join with Rattlesnake Cr to shape the local topography. This survey shows a sparsely settled region organized by a strict grid of county roads, including Co Rd S and Co Rd M, reflecting the enduring influence of the Public Land Survey System on Colorado's rural development. Further east, Dry Cr and Cat Cr cut through the sections, highlighting the essential role of water management in this arid environment.
