2019 Map of Vilas South

About this map

Vilas sits at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, serving as a primary point of reference in a region defined by agricultural sections and conserved prairie. Much of the southern portion of the quadrangle is occupied by the Comanche National Grassland, where the terrain is marked by the drainages of Sand Arroyo Cr and Dry Cr. The map details a precise grid of county roads, such as Comanche National Grassland and Co RD BB, which delineate the ranching and farming divisions characteristic of Baca County. These public lands, often marked with the abbreviation Cng, illustrate the federal management of the grasslands south of the town center, preserving the open character of the Colorado plains.
