About this map

The high plains border between Colorado and Oklahoma defines this landscape in the western panhandle region during the late 2010s. This survey area, split between Baca County and Cimarron County, shows a strictly organized section-line grid typical of the Great Plains. The few deviations from the geometric road network occur along the southern reaches near Goff Cr, where intermittent drainage patterns create varied elevation contours.

Remote and rural, the map reflects a region dominated by large-scale agricultural divisions within Township 6 North, Range 8 East and surrounding townships. Local transportation relies on a network of numbered gravel and dirt routes, including E0030 Rd and N0440 Rd. This map serves as a contemporary record of the land-use patterns and property boundaries that have persisted since the era of original settlement and homesteading.
