1978 Map of Springfield SW

About this map

The Colo State Univ Experiment Station occupies the northwest corner of this Colorado landscape, highlighting the intersection of agricultural research and the high plains of Baca County. The settlement of Liberty sits centrally among a network of section lines and unimproved roads that define the rural character of the area in the late 1970s. The terrain is deeply influenced by the seasonal flow of Lone Rock Draw, which snakes across the northern and eastern portions of the sheet. Water management is a primary theme of the landscape, as evidenced by numerous named sources like the Little Bankiter Well and a prominent Pipeline traversing the southern sections. Industrial activity is concentrated at a solitary Gravel Pit near a Radio Tower, while the broader township organization is marked by the crossing of T 31 S T 32 S and R 47 W R 46 W.
