1978 Map of Harbord

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks cut across this high plains landscape of Baca County, serving the small siding at Harbord. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage patterns of Plum Creek, Bear Creek, and Cat Creek, which carve gentle draws across the prairie. Evidence of local transport and infrastructure appears in the form of a remote Landing Strip and a modern Pipeline corridor crossing the southwestern sections. Genealogy and local history researchers will find the Pritchett Cem located near the southern boundary, a quiet anchor for the surrounding ranching community. The map also documents several Gravel Pit operations and scattered wells, reflecting the essential water and mineral resource management required in this arid corner of Colorado during the late 1970s.
