About this map

Boston Cem serves as a silent landmark in the southwest corner of this landscape, a point of significant interest for genealogists tracing early families in this part of Baca County. The terrain is defined by the ephemeral drainage of Sand Arroyo and the seasonal path of Dry Creek, illustrating the arid conditions that shaped regional ranching and agricultural practices. By the late 1970s, the area was heavily characterized by energy exploration and resource extraction, evidenced by a dense network of Gas Well sites, scattered Oil Well locations, and a dedicated Pumping Sta. This distribution of infrastructure alongside traditional landmarks like the cemetery highlights the shift from early prairie settlement toward a specialized industrial landscape focused on the subterranean resources of the High Plains.
