About this map

Cimarron River winds through this arid landscape on the high plains where the borders of Baca County, Colorado, and Morton County, Kansas, meet. The terrain is defined by a dense network of energy infrastructure, with numerous Oil Wells and Gas Wells dotting the drainages and plateaus. These industrial markings are interspersed with landmarks such as Revolution and a Pumping Sta, indicating the intensive natural resource development of the late 1970s. The map also reveals the functional pathways of the era, including a major Pipeline and a Jeep Trail that cut across the section lines. Near the state line, specialized structures like a Radio Tower and a Gravel Pit suggest a landscape focused on utilities and extraction rather than residential settlement, offering a clear record of the region's 20th-century economic footprint.
