1996 Map of Springfield West

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Springfield serves as the focal point of this late 20th-century survey of Baca County, where the plains of southeastern Colorado meet a network of seasonal watercourses. The town's edge is marked by essential local landmarks including the County Fairground, a Golf Course, and the Springfield Cem. Just south of the municipal limits, the landscape transitions into the Comanche National Grassland, reflecting a shift from agricultural land use to protected prairie. This area is characterized by the convergence of Bear Creek, Cat Creek, and Plum Creek, which carve subtle drainage patterns through the high plains. The presence of the Colorado State University Experiment Station highlights the region's importance to agricultural research and dryland farming techniques in an era of evolving land management. Scattered wells across the township indicate the reliance on groundwater for this semi-arid environment.
