About this map

Springfield serves as the focal point of this high-plains landscape, where a grid of residential streets and avenues meets the expanse of Baca County. The town layout is clearly defined by thoroughfares such as Main St, W 5th Ave, and E 11th Ave, centered around a local hub that includes the Springfield Municipal Airport to the northwest. Beyond the municipal limits, the terrain is shaped by the drainage systems of Cat Cr and Bear Creek, which carve distinct geological features into the prairie.

Notable depressions like Wild Horse Canyon and Fern Canyon interrupt the otherwise steady elevation, revealing the natural breaks in the southeastern Colorado tableland. The rural landscape is organized by a systematic grid of county roads, including Co RD MM and Co RD Ee, illustrating the late-modern intersection of agricultural land management and small-town development in this corner of the state.
