About this map

The Cimarron River cuts through the high plains of the Colorado-Kansas border, defining a landscape dominated by expansive public lands and open range. Much of the eastern portion of this survey is occupied by the Cimarron National Grassland, where the land is partitioned into distinct grazing areas like Unit One Pasture, Steer Pasture, and Stateline Pasture. This modern configuration reflects the conservation and grazing management practices on the Great Plains in the 21st century.

A sparse network of rural roads, including Co RD C and Co RD D in Colorado and the uniquely named C Blvd and B Blvd in Kansas, provides the primary means of navigation across the state line. The absence of traditional town centers highlights the specialized, agricultural nature of the Baca and Morton County borderlands, where the terrain is marked by gentle elevation changes and the seasonal drainage of the river corridor.
