2023 Map of French

About this map

French and Toril sit at the intersection of high-desert watercourses and modern transit corridors in this high-plains landscape. The northern portion of the town of Springer appears in the southwest corner, situated where the Cimarron River joins the drainage networks of the western plains. This area is defined by its complex hydrology, featuring the confluence of the Vermejo River and the Canadian River, alongside man-made improvements like the Highline Canal and City Reservoir. A network of rural county roads, including Co Rd C-16 and Vacquero Rd, connects scattered ranchlands through a terrain carved by Ladd Arroyo and the Rio del Plano. The presence of Frontage Rd tracing the major north-south highway highlights the enduring importance of this corridor for movement through Colfax County.
