1996 Map of Tubs Springs

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this high plains landscape along the Colorado-Oklahoma border during the late 1990s. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages, including Sand Canyon and its many branches, which give way to the striking relief of Picture Canyon in the east. Human presence is marked by the vital infrastructure of water management, essential for ranching in this arid environment. Named water sources like Tubs Springs, Cave Spring, and Dipping Vat Spring are scattered throughout the draws.
