About this map

Graft stands as a focal point of settlement in this northern portion of Baca County, where the high plains are carved by a network of drainage systems. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral watercourses of Arrasmith Draw and Antelope Draw, which channel seasonal runoff toward larger creek beds. The importance of water management in this arid region is evidenced by the Plum Cr Stock Reservoir, a critical infrastructure point for local ranching operations. Several significant waterways, including Freezeout Cr, Plum Cr, and Bear Cr, wind through the terrain, dictating the placement of the county road grid. The survey reflects the enduring cattle-country character of the Colorado plains, where large-scale township divisions like t29s r49w and t30s r49w organize the vast, open range.
