2016 Map of Harbord

About this map

Harbord serves as a central point in this corner of Colorado, where the high plains transition into the protected acreage of the Comanche National Grassland. The landscape is defined by the winding drainage patterns of Plum Creek, Bear Creek, and Cat Creek, which cut through the township grids. These watercourses were vital to the early ranching and agricultural development of Baca County, providing a natural logic to the placement of early routes and homesteads. Local history is anchored by the Pritchett Cemetery, located just south of Main Street, which offers a point of reference for researchers tracing family roots in this rural community. The map's grid of county roads, such as County Road MM and County Road 17, illustrates the systematic organization of the territory into townships like t30s r48w.
