About this map

Walsh occupies the southeastern corner of this Baca County landscape, oriented around a grid of streets including Santa Fe St and N Texas St. The town is supported by regional infrastructure like Griffin Field and the Walsh Cemetery, while the rural history of the area is anchored by the Minneapolis Cemetery far to the northeast. The surrounding terrain is defined by a network of seasonal drainages and high points that served as natural landmarks for early travelers and homesteaders.

Watercourses such as Horse Creek, Antelope Creek, and Bear Creek cut through the high plains, punctuated by prominent elevations like Black Butte and Buffalo Point. The map details an extensive section-line road system, including Co Rd HH and Co Rd LL, which reflects the traditional land division of the American West. This 2019 survey provides a contemporary look at the enduring geographic features and established settlements of the Colorado plains.
