About this map

The North Fork Cimarron River winds through this high plains landscape of Baca County, where the topography is defined by the sharp incision of Spring Canyon in the southern reaches. The settlement of Midway sits at a crossroads of section lines, serving as a focal point for a region increasingly defined by its subterranean resources. By the late 1970s, the rural character of the area was heavily overlaid with industrial infrastructure, as evidenced by the dense concentration of Gas Well and Oil Well sites scattered across the sections. A network of Pipelines and smaller service lines connects these extraction points, tracing a modern economy across the traditional range land. This transition from open cattle country to an active energy field is meticulously documented, showing the precise placement of every Drill Hole and well pad against the natural drainage patterns of the Cimarron.
