About this map

Flank Oil Field stands as a primary industrial marker in this corner of Baca County, where the high plains terrain is defined more by its drainage patterns than by dense settlement. The Cimarron River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, creating a distinct riparian corridor that contrasts with the surrounding tablelands. This landscape is deeply etched by significant geographic depressions, including Spring Canyon in the northeast and both Moore Draw and Mitchell Draw to the west. A precise grid of section roads, including County Rd K and County Rd 53, facilitates access across the open range, illustrating the systematic land division and transport network necessary for maintaining the region's energy and ranching operations during the early 21st century.
