2013 Map of Floating W Ranch

About this map

Mud Creek and Little Angry Creek carve through the high plains at the boundary of southeastern Colorado. This 2013 survey of the borderlands between Bent Co and Baca Co reveals a landscape defined by ranching and an intricate network of county roads. The namesake Floating W Ranch serves as a primary landmark in a region where water sources like West Clay Creek and Maverick Creek dictate the layout of the land. The map highlights the transition between the rolling prairie and the rugged drainage systems that feed into Two Butte Creek further south. For researchers, the survey provides a precise look at modern land divisions and the placement of rural infrastructure along routes like Co Road XX and Co Road 35.
