1978 Map of Springfield SW

About this map

Agricultural research and scattered ranching infrastructure define this corner of Baca County during the late 1970s. The Colo State Univ Experiment Station in the northwest corner suggests the area's importance to high plains dryland farming studies, while the terrain is punctuated by numerous groundwater sources, including the specifically named Little Bankiter Well. The landscape is largely defined by the drainage of Lone Rock Draw, which meanders across the eastern half of the quadrangle.
