About this map

The Cimarron National Grassland dominates the southern reaches of this landscape in southeastern Baca County, where the North Fork Cimarron River winds through the grasslands near the state line. The terrain is defined by a rigorous grid of section lines and gravel paths, including County Road BB and County Road Z, which facilitate movement through this high plains ranching and agricultural environment. In the northern section, the ephemeral drainage of Sand Arroyo Creek cuts across the plains, reflecting the semi-arid nature of the region. The map illustrates a contemporary livestock management system, notably marked by designated areas such as Pasture Number Three. This 2011 survey captures a remote portion of Colorado where the geometric order of county roads meets the natural curves of the river system.
