About this map

The high plains of Southeast Colorado, defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and critical water sources, are meticulously documented in this recent survey. Key hydrologic markers like Pipe Spring and Thompson Spring provide vital references in an arid landscape where surface water is scarce. The terrain is carved by numerous drainages, including the prominent Caddoa Cr and Shelton Cr, which wind through the township and range sections.

A strictly rural character is maintained along the Bent and Baca County line, where the landscape is interconnected by a grid of county roads such as Co RD G and Co RD WW. Named landmarks like Mooth Waters and Little Angry Cr reflect the local nomenclature of the region. This map serves as an essential record for understanding modern land management and the enduring importance of water-source names in this cattle-ranching and farming corridor.
