About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this corner of Colorado, showing a landscape defined by the intricate drainage systems of the High Plains. The small settlement of Edler sits as a primary point of reference amidst a network of canyons and arroyos. Navigating the terrain is largely dependent on an extensive system of 4wd trails that cross the open prairie and dip into the various forks of the river system.

The hydrologic character of the region is captured through the branching paths of the North Fork and South Fork, which carve through the grasslands alongside named features like North Ute Canyon and East Sand Canyon. This late-twentieth-century survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the area, featuring a Wildlife Exclosure and a significant Pipeline corridor, highlighting the balance between land conservation and resource management in this part of Baca County.
