2013 Map of Springfield East

About this map

The town of Springfield serves as a central hub in Baca County, where the regular grid of the high plains meets the drainages of the Comanche National Grassland. This survey captures the residential streets and municipal layout of the town, including its thoroughfares like Santa Fe St and Kansas St, situated just south of the Springfield Municipal Airport. The landscape here transitions from flat agricultural sections defined by a network of county roads, such as CO Road MM and CO Road 28, into more complex terrain to the east and south. This topographic shift is most evident where Bear Creek carves through the earth, creating natural landmarks like Wild Horse Canyon and Fern Canyon. These canyons provide a stark contrast to the surrounding plains, offering a detailed record of the local hydrology and seasonal watercourses like Cat Creek and Antelope Creek that define the region's geography.
