1984 Map of Springfield
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Springfield serves as the central hub for this high-plains landscape where Colorado, Kansas, and Oklahoma converge. The era is defined by a grid of agricultural section lines and the vital corridor of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, which links the small grain-handling communities of Pritchett, Vilas, and Walsh. In the southern reaches, the terrain descends into a more complex network of drainage basins, including the Cimarron River and its North Fork, as well as the deep incisions of Picture Canyon and Gallinas Canyon. These canyons provide a sharp contrast to the level prairie found near Stonington and Campo. Local landmarks like Black Butte and the State Fishing Area stand out against the vast network of ephemeral draws and creeks, such as Bear Creek and Horse Creek, that once dictated the movement of cattle and early homesteaders across Baca County.
