About this map

Walsh occupies the southern edge of this Baca County survey, situated along Us-160 E and the grid of residential streets including Santa Fe St and E Maplewood Ave. The surrounding landscape is defined by the incision of High Plains drainages such as Horse Creek, Antelope Creek, and Bear Creek, which cut through the agricultural tableland. Local aviation history is marked by the Griffin Field Airport north of the town center.

Prominent topographic landmarks like Black Butte and Buffalo Point rise above the drainage basins, serving as distinctive navigational points in this prairie environment. For genealogists, the Minneapolis Cem is located in the northeastern corner of the map, providing a specific record of the area's early settlement. The extensive network of county roads, such as CO Road MM and CO Road 42, illustrates the late-twentieth-century township and range system that organized this portion of Colorado.
