About this map

Horse Creek Springs serves as a critical watering point in this high plains landscape of Baca County. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent drainages, including the prominent winding course of Horse Creek and its various tributaries like South Horse Creek and N Horse Cr. These waterways create distinct topographical relief across the southeastern Colorado prairies, providing natural landmarks in an otherwise open expanse of ranching country.

The 2019 survey illustrates the established section-line road network, such as Co RD RR and Co RD Uu, which facilitates movement across the township and range divisions. The convergence of Sand Cr and the main branch of Horse Creek highlights the hydraulic patterns of the region, where seasonal flows dictate the character of the land. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and natural hydrology essential for understanding the local environment and land use history.
