About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape in Baca County, where complex drainage networks define the topography. The terrain is marked by numerous ephemeral watercourses, including the wide Moore Draw and Mitchell Draw in the north and the converging paths of Picket House Draw and Nevitt Draw to the south. These draws reveal the natural erosion patterns of the region's semi-arid environment during the mid-1990s.

Evidence of local resource extraction and land management is visible through scattered Drill Holes, a Gas Well, and several Gravel Pits. Local history is anchored by the Mount Carmel Cem in the eastern section, while modern infrastructure is represented by a Communication Tower and a dedicated Wildlife Exclosure. The presence of these features alongside the extensive network of four-wheel-drive trails illustrates a landscape utilized for both conservation and industry.
