2011 Map of Pritchett NW

About this map

Graft sits at the intersection of a vast grid of section roads in this part of Baca County, serving as a primary landmark in a landscape defined by ranching and intermittent water sources. The map details the vital role of water management in this arid region, most notably at the Plum Creek Stock Reservoir and the accompanying Plum Creek Stock Dam. The terrain is characterized by a series of north-running drainages including Arrasmith Draw, Antelope Draw, and the winding paths of Plum Creek and Bear Creek. To the northwest, Antelope Springs provides a rare natural water point near Freezeout Creek. The sparse distribution of named points highlights the remote character of this high plains territory where the local economy is tied to the land and its limited resources.
