2011 Map of Moore Draw SW

About this map

Mount Carmel Cemetery stands as a quiet focal point in this high plains landscape of Baca County, marking a site of local genealogical importance. The terrain is defined by a series of intermittent watercourses, including Moore Draw and Murray Draw, which cut through the agricultural grid. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the intersection of natural drainage and human order, where rural routes like Co RD J and Co RD 36 follow the section lines regardless of the underlying topography. The drainage pattern of Burrows Draw and North Picker House Draw suggests a landscape shaped by seasonal water flow, typical of this portion of Colorado. For researchers, the map provides a precise layout of the county road network and its relation to the prominent local burial ground.
