2016 Map of Midway NE

About this map

Cimarron National Grassland dominates the eastern half of this landscape, marking the transition from Colorado into Kansas. This 2016 survey documents the sprawling public lands along the border of Baca County and Morton County, defined by a rigid grid of range roads including Co Rd 56 and Co Rd 53. The map detail reveals a specialized land management system within the Cimarron NG, where large tracts are organized into numbered grazing units such as Pasture Number Fortyseven, Pasture Number Seventeen, and Pasture Number Eighteen. The terrain is characterized by subtle elevation changes and dry drainage patterns that cross the state line near R Blvd and L Blvd. For researchers and historians, this map provides a clear picture of modern rangeland organization and the enduring township-and-range surveying system that still dictates the geography of the High Plains.
