About this map

Pritchett serves as the primary settlement on this High Plains landscape, situated at the intersection of local routes in northwestern Baca County. The town site is meticulously detailed with a street grid and buildings, including several prominent structures marked by bench marks. Surrounding the town, the wide expanses of the Comanche National Grassland dominate the geography, characterized by the winding drainage patterns of North Fork and South Fork.

Agricultural research and local history are anchored by specific landmarks such as the Colorado State University Experiment Station located to the east. For genealogists and local historians, the Number Five Cem provides a specific point of interest near the southern drainage of South Fork. The map also traces the distinct path of Lone Rock Draw, illustrating the subtle topography of this prairie environment as it was recorded during the late 1990s revision by the Forest Service.
