1996 Map of Springfield SW

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

The Comanche National Grassland dominates this section of the High Plains in Baca County, Colorado. Revised in the mid-1990s, the map reveals a landscape defined by an extensive network of ephemeral drainage patterns like Lone Rock Draw and numerous artificial water sources essential for cattle and agriculture in this semi-arid environment. The presence of the Colorado State University Experiment Station in the northwest corner highlights the region's importance for dryland agricultural research and range management. Small pockets of human activity are noted by the settlement at Liberty and specialized infrastructure such as a Communication Tower and a Gravel Pit. The map effectively illustrates the transition between federal grassland and the geometric grid of private landholdings, with Little Bankiter Well and other named water points serving as critical landmarks for local navigation and land use history.
