2019 Map of Floating W Ranch

About this map

The Floating W Ranch sits near the intersection of several seasonal watercourses in this high plains landscape on the border of Bent and Baca counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainage systems, including the branching paths of West Clay Creek and W Clay Cr, which carve through the arid plateaus. In the southern portion of the sheet, the landscape transitions toward Maverick Cr and the larger Two Butte Cr corridor. A regular grid of county roads, such as Co RD A and Co RD G, provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching country, reflecting the large-scale land divisions common in eastern Colorado. The map captures the quiet character of the region's cattle-ranching heritage, where life is dictated by the availability of water at features like Little Angry Cr and Mud Cr.
