2019 Map of Springfield West

About this map

Springfield marks the eastern edge of this Baca County survey, where the town's grid meets the expansive reach of the Comanche National Grassland. The landscape is defined by the subtle drainage patterns of Plum Cr, Bear Cr, and Cat Cr, which carve shallow paths across the high plains. This map captures the intersection of early settlement patterns and federal land conservation, with the local Springfield Cem and the central corridor of Main St providing anchor points for genealogical research in this part of Southeast Colorado. A network of county roads, including Co RD MM and Co RD FF, follows the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, illustrating how modern transportation still adheres to the township and range boundaries established decades prior.
