1978 Map of Moore Draw SW

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The high plains of Baca County are defined by a network of ephemeral watercourses, most notably Moore Draw, which cut through the southeastern Colorado landscape. This 1970s landscape shows evidence of sparse settlement and agricultural infrastructure, centered around the locale of Lowder. Genealogy researchers will find Mt Carmel Cem and the nearby Radio Tower in the eastern portion of the quadrangle, serving as distinct landmarks in the open terrain. The drainage patterns of Mitchell Draw and Murray Draw illustrate the natural topography that dictated early land use. Industrial activity is documented through numerous Drill Hole locations and Gravel Pits, along with a Gas Well in the southern reaches near Burrows Draw. These labels provide a record of the mid-to-late 20th-century resource extraction and livestock-supporting infrastructure in this part of the state.
