About this map

The boundary between Bent and Baca counties marks a significant transition in this southeastern Colorado landscape, where the high plains are carved by a network of seasonal watercourses. The drainage patterns of Maverick Cr and Two Butte Cr dominate the southern portion of the quadrangle, while the northern terrain is defined by the headwaters of Mud Cr and its tributary East Mud Cr.

A sparse grid of county roads, including Co Rd XX and Co Rd A, provides the only structural access across the township lines. This area of the state remains largely defined by open range and ranching operations, with features like Little Angry Cr and West Clay Creek serving as the primary landmarks in an otherwise open, topographical expanse. The map illustrates the specialized water management required in this arid environment, focusing on natural draws and creek beds.
