About this map

Caddoa Creek and Shelton Creek wind through this corner of Baca County, defining a landscape of intermittent drainages and ranching outposts. The grid of section lines is punctuated by named family operations like Clay Ranch, McEndree Ranch, and the Floating W Ranch, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the region.

Vital water sources in this arid environment are marked by Pipe Spring and Thompson Spring, which likely served as focal points for early settlement and livestock management. The network of county roads, including County Road D and County Road WW, follows the high ground between the various draws of West Mud Creek and Little Angry Creek, illustrating the remote connectivity required to maintain these high plains holdings.
