2022 Map of Horse Creek Springs

About this map

Horse Creek Springs serves as a focal point in this high plains landscape of Baca County, where the hydrology of the High Plains aquifer surfaces in a series of intermittent and perennial drainages. The area is defined by the convergence of Horse Creek, South Horse Creek, and N Horse Cr, which carve subtle topography through the agricultural grid. This 2022 survey captures the modern section-line road network, including Co RD RR and Co RD PP, reflecting the enduring Public Land Survey System layout. The drainage patterns of Sand Creek in the northern sections further illustrate the erosional character of the region, providing a detailed look at the water sources that have historically supported ranching and homesteading in this corner of Colorado.
