1892 Map of Vilas
USGS Topo · Published 1892About this map
The high plains of southeastern Baca County, Colorado, are documented here just as the frontier period was giving way to more permanent ranching and early townsite development. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, with the Cimarron River flowing across the southern edge and Horse Creek and Antelope Creek cutting through the northern reaches. The presence of the Texas Trail crossing the eastern border into Stanton County, Kansas, highlights the region's importance as a corridor for cattle drives and western migration during the late nineteenth century.
