About this map

McDaniel Cimarron Place and the C S Ranch occupy a landscape defined by the drainage networks of the southern Sangre de Cristo foothills. The 2013 topography reveals a pattern of agricultural operations and ranching tracts that rely on the vital waters of the Cimarron River and its numerous tributaries. Human intervention in the arid environment is evidenced by the Springer-Ditch, which diverts water across the terrain toward Number 2 Lake.

Named homesteads and farming sites such as Hanson Farm, Hayward Farm, and Crawford are linked by a network of local roads including Miami Ln and Heel Bar Rd. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding paths of Urraca Cr and Rayado Cr near Urraca Place, illustrating the historical importance of creek-side settlement in Colfax County. This survey captures the enduring rural character of the region before further modern subdivision.
