1978 Map of Midway SW

About this map

The Cimarron River winds through the southern half of this landscape, its path defined by sand and intermittent water in the arid terrain of Baca County. Energy exploration is the primary industrial footprint here, particularly within the Flank Field where numerous Gas Wells and an Oil Well are scattered across the plains. These extractive sites are linked by a network of unimproved roads and a Pumping Sta, reflecting the mid-1970s development of the region's natural resources. The topography is further characterized by drainage systems like Moore Draw, Mitchell Draw, and the deep incision of Spring Canyon to the northeast. Beyond the petroleum infrastructure, evidence of local utility and land use appears in the form of a Gravel Pit and a lone Drill Hole, providing a focused look at the rural industrial character of the Colorado high plains.
