2019 Map of Lone Rock

About this map

Comanche National Grassland encompasses the majority of this high plains landscape in Baca County, characterized by a complex network of intermittent drainages and draws. The terrain is defined by wide, shallow valleys such as Lone Rock Draw and its tributaries, the North Fork and South Fork. These ephemeral watercourses reflect the arid climate and grazing history of the region. Scattered throughout this open country are local landmarks of historical and genealogical significance, including the Prairie Queen Cem and the Chapel Hill Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the homesteading families that once settled this corner of Colorado. The namesake Lone Rock stands as a distinctive topographic feature near the center of the survey, surrounded by a grid of rural county roads such as Co RD 10 and Co RD W that navigate the sections of the public land survey system.
