1979 Map of Tubs Springs

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Tubs Springs serves as a focal point in this 1970s landscape where the high plains of Baca County, Colorado, meet Cimarron County, Oklahoma. This arid borderland is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage systems, including West Sand Canyon, Middle Sand Canyon, and the deep incisions of Picture Canyon. The presence of numerous watering spots such as Cross L Spring, Ramon Spring, and Cave Spring underscores the critical importance of water rights and livestock management in this ranching country. Human impact is marked by scattered infrastructure like the Little Dandy Windmill and Mammie Windmill, alongside evidence of early resource extraction at a small Quarry and Gravel Pit. Small markers like a lonely Grave and a simple Cem provide a quiet connection to the families who worked this land along Cañon Gallinas.
