2022 Map of Walsh SE

About this map

Boston Cem stands in the southwestern corner of this landscape, a quiet testament to the early settlers of Baca County. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Sand Arroyo Creek (also labeled Sand Arroyo Cr), which snakes through the central and eastern portions of the township. This ephemeral watercourse, along with Dry Cr in the northwest, has historically dictated the placement of roads and homesteads in this arid region. The map reveals a rigid grid of county roads, such as Co RD 41 and Co RD BB, which cross the high plains and partition the land into the Public Land Survey System sections of t31s r44w, t31s r43w, t32s r44w, and t32s r43w. The distribution of these roads indicates a landscape managed for large-scale agricultural use, where life is organized around the intersection of section lines and seasonal drainage channels.
