2016 Map of McEndree Ranch

About this map

McEndree Ranch sits amidst a network of intermittent drainage channels and rural county roads in this high plains corner of Baca County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Two Butte Cr, which is joined by local tributaries such as Snake Arroyo and Maverick Cr. To the north, the isolated Maxey Cem serves as a quiet marker of early regional settlement, situated near the intersection of several section-line roads like Co RD VV and Co RD 11. The mapping of townships t28s r49w and t28s r48w reveals a highly structured grid of section lines that dictates the movement of cattle and commerce across this open range. Southward, the terrain is shaped by the parallel paths of S Horse Cr and N Horse Cr, illustrating the vital importance of seasonal water sources for the cattle ranching operations that have long sustained this part of Colorado.
