About this map

The high plains of Colorado come into sharp focus around the town of Springfield, the county seat of Baca County. This survey highlights the intersection of local governance and regional transit, anchored by the Baca County Courthouse and the town's grid of residential streets like W 2nd Ave and E 8th Ave. North of the town center, the Springfield Municipal Airport serves as a modern waypoint in a landscape otherwise defined by traditional section lines and an extensive network of county roads.

The surrounding terrain is carved by natural drainage systems, including the prominent Wild Horse Canyon and Fern Canyon. These geographical features provide a stark contrast to the rectilinear property boundaries, with waterways such as Bear Creek and Cat Cr meandering across the southeastern reaches. The map reflects a community defined by its open spaces and its role as a regional hub, with Main St serving as a primary artery connecting the town to the broader plains.
