2019 Map of Pipe Spring

About this map

The boundary between Bent County and Baca County divides this high plains landscape, defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and remote springs. Pipe Spring and Thompson Spring serve as critical landmarks in the southeastern portion of the map, while Mooth Waters provides a named water feature in the northwest. The terrain is characterized by the winding paths of Caddoa Creek, Shelton Creek, and Little Angry Creek, which carve drainage patterns across the survey. A sparse grid of rural roads, including County Road H, County Road 28, and County Road WW, follows the Public Land Survey System lines, connecting the open ranching country. This 2019 survey documents a landscape focused on water management and grazing, where the relative isolation of named features like West Mud Creek and Maverick Creek underscores the region's semi-arid character.
