Introduction

Project Background and Purpose

Baca County is one of two counties being surveyed as part of a pilot project to conduct countywide surveys in Eastern Colorado. No countywide surveys have previously been conducted in Eastern Colorado and the region is generally underrepresented in survey. This project was created in collaboration with the staff of the Colorado Historical Society’s Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (OAHP). It is loosely modeled on the Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey, through which all counties in the state have been surveyed. It was decided that the Baca County project would combine a countywide reconnaissance-level survey with an intensive-level survey of 20 representative resources. OAHP staff recommended that this survey exclude all incorporated towns so as not to conflict with the Small Town Survey project. However, the survey did include counts of historic buildings in the incorporated areas, since this information might be helpful in prioritizing future small town surveys. For the pilot project, Baca County from the southeast and Phillips County from northeast were selected to represent the diversity of Eastern Colorado. Previous survey in these counties was extremely limited.

Project Dates

The project began with a introductory public meeting in Springfield in May 2008. Reconnaissance-level survey began in June 2008 and was completed in January 2009. Intensive-level survey was conducted from September to December 2009.

Project goals: • To establish a region-wide framework for rural survey in Eastern Colorado. No comprehensive survey of Eastern Colorado had been conducted, and the extent of rural historic resources was unknown. • To use a reconnaissance-level survey to discover the number, type, and general condition of historic resources located in rural Baca County. • To use intensive-level survey to collect in-depth information on selected resources that represent the range of resources identified during the reconnaissance-level survey. • To inform and educate Baca County residents about their local historic resources and the benefits of preservation and to raise awareness of the rural heritage of Baca County throughout the state. This will be accomplished through presentations, the survey report, a brochure, and Colorado Preservation, Inc.’s website. • To provide historic resource information that can provide a basis for additional survey, preservation planning, heritage tourism, and economic development in Baca County.

Funding

This project was funded by a State Historical Fund grant award from History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society and a Preserve America grant.

ProjectStaff

The survey was conducted by the staff of Colorado Preservation, Inc., a state-wide non-profit historic preservation organization dedicated to providing assistance in historic preservation to Colorado communities through a network of information, education, training, expertise, and advocacy.

The Rural Resources survey of Baca County was initiated under the direction of former Executive Director Mark Rodman and continued under the administration of current Executive Director James Hare. The survey project was led by Abbey Christman, Survey Director for Colorado Preservation, Inc. Ms. Christman oversaw a survey team which included survey assistants Ashley L. Bushey, Michelle Chichester, Lindsay Joyner, and Lauren Trice.

Summary of Results

A total of 605 resources were inventoried during the reconnaissance-level survey. Sites ranged in type from single structures to large complexes, simple dugout structures to mid-century ranch-style homes. Often, a single site represented several time-periods, evident in the variety of structures, materials, and additions. This project focused exclusively on the built environment; no archaeological survey was included.

Roughly half of the resources surveyed appeared to be vacant. In a county where the current population is less than half that of its peak, there is a trend of vacancy. Homesteads and farms were abandoned with the onset of the Dust Bowl, not only in Baca County, but across the southeastern Colorado region. Smaller homesteads were incorporated into larger ranches or taken over by the federal government to become part of the Comanche National Grasslands and government grazing programs. This vacancy is the principal threat to Baca’s historic resources.

Twenty resources were selected for intensive-level survey including: • 8 Homesteads (3 of which included a post office) • 3 Schools • 3 Churches and/or cemeteries • 2 Gas stations • 2 Commercial Buildings • 1 Grain Elevator • 1 Migrant worker campSixteen of these were determined field eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Three were determined not eligible and one needs additional data.

Historic contexts were developed to provide a historic framework for the resources identified during the survey. Six contexts were developed: Agriculture, Commerce & Community, Depression & Dust Bowl, Education, Homesteading, and Transportation. All resources surveyed fit within at least one of these contexts; most resources relate to several contexts.

At the end of the conclusion of the project, a brochure promoting the historic resources of Baca County was prepared. The brochure identified three heritage tourism themes based on the surveyed resources: Homesteading, Communities/ Ghost Towns, and the Dust Bowl. contexts.

Project Area

Located in the southeastern corner of the state, Baca County borders Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Covering 2,558 square miles with a population of just 4,517 (as of the 2000 census), it is a very sparsely populated county. Approximately forty percent of the county’s population lives in unincorporated areas, primarily on farms or ranches. The survey project included all unincorporated areas of Baca County; there are six incorporated towns in the county which were excluded from the survey: Campo, Pritchett, Springfield, Two Buttes, Vilas, and Walsh.

For the reconnaissance-level survey, the survey team drove every county road (CR 0 to CR 57 and CR C to CR XX) and surveyed what was visible from the public right-of-way. It was possible to view the large majority of the county’s resources with this method due to the mostly flat topography of the county and a grid of roads aligned with the Public Land Survey System (PLSS). Roads follow section lines through most of the county, creating a grid of roads at one-mile intervals. Thus, for most of the project, the survey team was searching for resources in a half-mile range to either side of the road. The flat topography of the plains made locating resources at this distance easy, though the trees clustered around most farm and ranch complexes often made it difficult to distinguish individual buildings. In the canyon areas of the western portion of the county, the grid system is

incomplete and topography made it more difficult to identify resources from a distance. Thus, there are likely resources in this area that the survey team could not see from public roads. A highly remote section in the most south-eastern corner of the county, accessible only by trails and unimproved roads, was not included in the survey area. The windshield reconnaissance-level survey covered approximately 2,250 square miles (or 1,440,000 acres). It is estimated that around 300 square miles was not accessible by public roadways.

Twenty sites from across the county were selected for intensive-level survey, covering roughly twelve acres. The location of these sites is shown on the map (page 13).

The county covers multiple USGS quadrangles which are identified in the survey tables in Appendix A and D.

The landscape of Baca County varies from plains in the east to canyons in the west. Farming and ranching are the principal industries. Baca County is part of the High Plains region of the United States which encompasses part of Montana, the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The elevation of Baca County is 4,295 feet. The county is semi-arid with an annual precipitation between 12 – 17 inches. The primary vegetation is short grass prairie. There is also cacti and scrub vegetation. The landscape is primarily rolling prairie with occasional hills and bluffs. Canyons and mesas are located in western part of the county.

In 2000, the U.S. Census defined any county with less than seven people per square mile as a frontier county. With just 1.8 people per square mile, Baca County was clearly in this classification. Census projections estimate the 2009 population of the county at just 3,723 making the current density around 1.5 people per square mile.

The majority of land in Baca County is devoted to agriculture, with 55% of agricultural land devoted to farming and 43% to pasture. Within Colorado, Baca County is ranked 11th in the value of agricultural products sold. Farmers are engaged in both irrigated and dryland farming. The primary crops are wheat, sorghum, corn, forage (hay and grass silage), and sunflower seeds. Cattle are the major livestock, with 56,845 cattle in the county as of the 2007 agriculture census. There are 778,185 acres of rangeland, 496,973 acres of non-irrigated cropland, 90,058 acres of irrigated cropland, and 262,969 acres under the Conversation Reserve Program in the county.

The Comanche National Grasslands are located in Baca, Las Animas, and Otero Counties. The grasslands are not contiguous, but rather scattered in a checkerboard pattern of ownership that is concentrated in the south and west of the county. The federal government owns 204,180 acres in Baca County, representing roughly 12% of land ownership.

Research Design and Methodology

PreviousSurveyandDesignation The project began with a file search via COMPASS to determine previously surveyed resources. The COMPASS searched displayed only 110 listings under architecture. The majority of resources appear to have been surveyed at the reconnaissance-level. With limited intensive-level survey, there are few resources with official determinations of eligibility. The search revealed that many of the architectural surveys identified had been located during archaeology projects and very little architecture-specific survey work has been conducted in the county. The project that surveyed the largest amount of resources in Baca County was Colorado Preservation, Inc.’s New Deal Survey which surveyed eighty-four resources at the intensive-level, but many of these resources have not been entered into COMPASS yet. The Lab of Archaeology documented thirty resources during its survey of the Flank Storage Field completed in 1981. The Colorado Department of Transportation’s bridge survey, conducted by FRASERdesign, has inventoried twenty-four bridges in Baca County. Colorado College documented seven sites during archaeological investigations in the 1980s. Most other survey has been conducted during Section 106 compliance related to oil and gas or transmission line projects.

Four resources have been previously designated. National Register listed sites include: the Colorado Millennial Site/ Hackberry/ Bloody Springs (5BA.31), the Springfield Schoolhouse/ Springfield Masonic Temple (5BA.313), the Stonington Methodist Episcopal Church (5BA.555), and the Two Buttes Gymnasium (5BA.1146). Two sites have been listed to the State Register: Two Buttes Dam (5BA.39) and the Commercial Hotel/ Stage Stop Hotel (5BA.941).

Survey Methodology All survey work was completed in accordance with the Office of Archaeology & Historic Preservation Colorado Cultural Resources Survey Manual (2007).

Reconnaissance-level Survey

The project began with a reconnaissance-level survey of the county during which the survey team drove every public road in the county. The Roads of Colorado by Mapsco was used to locate roads and keep track of survey progress, with roads highlighted as they were completed. All survey was conducted from the public right-of-way. The survey team recorded and photographed all resources that appeared to be at least 50 years old (i.e. constructed before 1960). Given that there is often little to visually distinguish buildings constructed in the 1950s from those in the 1960s, there were likely also many resources from the 1960s included. If it appeared that a building could date to the 1950s, then it was included. Most of the surveyed resources were part of a complex. If one or more buildings or structures within the complex appeared to be at least 50 years old, then the entire complex was recorded. New Deal resources were not resurveyed. UTM points were collected using a handheld Garmin GPS. Since these points were taken from the road, they only provided an approximate location. The points were adjusted using National Geographic’s TOPO! program and the revised UTM points were recorded on the inventory forms. The survey team also took notes on each property, listing the type(s) of buildings on a site and the construction materials if identifiable. All photographs were taken with a digital camera with a high power zoom.

During the reconnaissance-level survey, the survey team ranked priority for additional survey based on visual impressions of significance and integrity. Resources were evaluated as low/medium/high. Since these rankings were done solely based on visual impressions from the public right-of-way, this evaluation should not be used to eliminate any property from additional survey. Much more could be uncovered from an on-site evaluation and additional research. This was simply a tool to help the survey team identify possible resources for the intensive-level component of the project.

The reconnaissance survey was begun by Abbey Christman and Lindsay Joyner in May 2008. They surveyed ninety sites. In October 2008, Abbey Christman went out in the field with Ashley Bushey and Lauren Trice to train them to take over the reconnaissance survey. They completed the remaining reconnaissance survey, which concluded in January 2009.

In the office, Lindsay Joyner and Ashley Bushey compiled the information collected in the field onto survey forms. Colorado Preservation, Inc., developed a reconnaissance-level form for the project which included all the data required for the inclusion of surveyed resources in COMPASS and submitted it to OAHP staff for approval. The form included the location, property owner, PLSS information, UTM reference point, USGS Quad, list of buildings and structures on the site and their material, whether the property was in use or vacant, and survey date. The property owner information was obtained from the Baca County Colorado County Plat Ownership Maps by Western Cartographers. An overview photo was included on the main page of each reconnaissance form. If not all buildings were visible in this image, then a continuation page with additional images was created.

Intensive-level Survey

In the second phase of the project, twenty sites were surveyed at the intensive level. Several things were considered in the selection of the resources for intensive-level survey: the survey priority evaluations from the reconnaissance-level survey, the selection of sites that would represent the range of property types identified during the reconnaissance-level survey, and geographic distribution across the county. Vacant resources were given additional consideration since they are most threatened with destruction due to weathering and neglect. Using these criteria, a priority list of twenty-eight sites were selected (See Appendix E). Letters introducing the survey project and requesting permission to survey were mailed to property owners along with a survey permission form and stamped return envelope. More than twenty letters were sent since survey staff believed it unlikely that all would respond to the survey request. Some property owners returned survey permission forms without further contact. Ashley Bushey called many of the property owners to further explain the project and obtain permission. Some additional sites were discovered as we met with property owners, such as the Lewisville School and Lewis Homestead.

Once permissions for twenty sites were obtained, Ashley Bushey contacted property owners to schedule a survey time. Some property owners chose to accompany the survey team, while others gave permission for the survey team to complete the survey on their own. In general, the owners of properties which had passed down through their family were able to provide historical information on the property while owners who had purchased properties which they had no personal ties to where often unable to provide any additional information on the site.

The intensive-level survey included documentation of all built resources associated with a site as well as plantings or other landscape features in the immediate vicinity. The survey did not evaluate the larger surrounding landscape. Many of the properties surveyed may have additional significance as part of rural historic landscapes that were not identified in this project.

The intensive-level survey was completed between September and December 2009. Fieldwork was conducted by Ashley Bushey, Abbey Christman, Michelle Chichester, and Lindsay Joyner. Please see Appendix D for exact dates and personnel.

Documentation

Forms: For the reconnaissance-level survey, the survey staff developed a form which included the essential items requested by OAHP in order to include a site in COMPASS as well as digital images. The reconnaissance-level form was submitted to OAHP staff for approval. Intensive-level sites were recorded on Colorado Cultural Resource Survey Architectural Inventory Form 1403. Reconnaissance-level forms were completed by Ashley Bushey and Lindsay Joyner. Intensive-level forms were completed by Ashley Bushey, Abbey Christman, and Michelle Chichester.

Photography: A digital camera was used for all photography. The survey photographs

were printed using a HP Photosmart 8050 printer with HP 100 gray photo ink and 4” x 6” HP Premium Photo Paper, which meet the National Register guidelines for photography. Photos were placed in archival sleeves. Digital images are being provided in .tiff format to OAHP.

Research

General background research of the development of Baca County was done before the reconnaissance-level survey was started. More focused contextual research was conducted after the reconnaissance was completed, with particular emphasis on boom and bust cycles, homesteading, and agricultural development. This research offered insight into the potential significance of intensive sites and provided a framework for understanding and interpreting

physical evidence at individual sites. Both primary and secondary sources were consulted, with the majority of resources coming from the Springfield Library, Denver Public Library, or Prospector interlibrary loan system. Additional site-specific research was completed subsequent to the intensive-level field work, including investigation of newspaper sources, oral histories, records of the Baca County Assessor and Clerk & Recorder, and school records housed in the Colorado State Archives. For a complete listing of sources consulted, please refer to the project bibliography.

Site specific research presented many challenges. Many of the sites had been vacant for decades and little information could be located on them. Property owners were asked about the history of all resources surveyed, but property owners with no family connection to the land typically had little information to offer. Courthouse records were also hit or miss in tracking ownership; it was relatively easy to track most of the sites back to c.1950 through the transfer books but earlier ownership was more challenging. Thus, there are ownership gaps for several properties. Very few historic photographs (either for specific properties or rural Baca County in general) could be located, thus the original condition of most of the buildings is based on conjecture and material investigation. The sources most relied on were the General Land Office records available through the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) website and U.S. Census records accessed through Ancestry.com.

The Colorado Business Directories and William Bauer’s Colorado’s Post Offices, 1859-1989 were extremely helpful in tracing the rise and decline of rural communities. Research was conducted by Ashley Bushey, Abbey Christman, and Lindsay Joyner. Lindsay Joyner conducted general background research. Ashley Bushey completed context research as well as school research at the Colorado State Archives, local history research at the Western History & Genealogy Collection at the Denver Library, agriculture reports at Colorado State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Abbey Christman performed context research and newspaper research.

Public Outreach

The project began with a public meeting conducted by Abbey Christman to introduce the project. The meeting was held at the community center in Springfield, Colorado in May 2008. Abbey Christman has given presentations on the survey project at the Heritage Barn Conference in Walla Walla, WA on May 6, 2010 and at Boggsville Historic Site in Las Animas, CO on July 24, 2010. She also presented survey results at meetings of the Springfield Chamber of Commerce and Canyons & Plains of Southeast Colorado during the summer of 2010.

A full-color, 12-page heritage tourism brochure was produced to highlight the historic rural resources of Baca County. Survey staff selected three heritage tourism themes based on the resources surveyed. Selected themes were homesteading, former communities (i.e. ghost towns), and the Dust Bowl & Depression. The brochure provides a context for each of these themes and highlights selected resources. The intention was to bring greater awareness of Baca County’s historic resources, inspire readers to explore Baca County’s backroads, and to provide a historical context for this exploration. The brochure text and photographs were by Abbey Christman. Graphic design was completed by Bhawkins, Inc. Five thousand copies of the brochure were printed. Copies were given to Laneha Everett, Baca County Economic Development Director, to distribute in the county. Boxes of brochure were also sent to the Colorado welcome centers in Trinidad and Lamar. Colorado Preservation, Inc. mailed copies of the brochure with the summer issue of its magazine, Colorado Preservationist.

A section of Colorado Preservation, Inc.’s website is being developed to present survey results and serve as a supplement to the brochure. The website will include an interactive map of the county to help people locate the resources mentioned in the brochure. The web pages will also include pages of each of the historic contexts presented in the survey report. Website content is being developed by Abbey Christman and Michelle Chichester; website design is by Michelle Chichester.

Historic Contexts

Historic contexts were developed to provide a framework for understanding the history and significance of the surveyed resources. All surveyed resources fit within at least one of the following contexts: Homesteading & Settlement, Agriculture, Education, Transportation, Commerce & Community, Religion, and Depression & Dust Bowl. The emphasis of the contexts is on providing a framework for the evaluation of the surveyed resources. Thus, aspects of Baca County history not physically tied to resource types included in this survey (such as the Santa Fe Trail or the open range cattle industry) are not explored in the following contexts. The following contexts were developed by Abbey Christman and Ashley Bushey. Portions of the contexts were taken from research completed by Colorado Preservation, Inc. for other projects in southeastern Colorado and were written by Lindsay Joyner, Kathleen Corbett, and Deon Wolfenbarger.

Historic Overview

The territory covered by Baca County has been claimed by a multitude of governmental entities through the last five centuries. Originally a Spanish territory in 1541, the area became part of Mexico in 1823. The area changed hands again in 1836, becoming incorporated into the Republic of Texas, and was later absorbed into the United States with the admission of the Texas territory. Once a part of the United States, shifts in property lines continued. A part of the Kansas territory in 1854, the area was shifted to the Colorado territory and the county of Huerfano in 1861. When Colorado was admitted to the Union in 1876, the area now called Baca made up the eastern portion of Las Animas County.

In the 1870s, Baca County was part of the domain of the cattlemen of the Open Range. But the same rains that brought rich grazing also brought hopeful farmers, who filed on—and fenced in—160-acre homesteads. Settlers began arriving in Baca County in the 1880s. The region’s new residents complained that Trinidad, the Las Animas County seat, was too far to travel, and in 1889 the county of Baca was formed. Springfield, located near the center of the county, became the county seat, though several other communities fought for the title.

By 1889, the agricultural economy of Baca County was shifting to farming and more contained methods of ranching, and the county’s population had grown to 1,479. But the boom was not to last. Drought and the Panic of 1893 halted Baca’s growth; by 1900, the county’s population had fallen to 759. Growth did not come again until the 1910s, when new homestead laws allowing for larger claims, high wheat prices, an irrigation project at Two Buttes, and years of unusually wet weather encouraged another boom. By 1930, Baca County boasted a population of 10,570.

But again the good times faded. Another drought, combined with poor soil management, brought harrowing dust storms in the 1930s. Many of Baca County’s farmers and ranchers abandoned their homesteads. The economy bounced back with WWII and a surge in broomcorn production. The introduction of center-pivot irrigation systems in the 1950s, which draw from the Ogallala Aquifer, reduced the impact of drought. Today, Baca County has an agricultural economy that relies mostly on cattle, wheat, corn, and sorghum.

Introduction to the Homestead Act of 1862

The Homestead Act of 1862, with its offer of free land for any American willing to make it productive, was one of the key motivators for eager pioneers who dreamed of owning land in the American West. Prior homestead acts had allowed land to be purchased, or allowed special land claims for veterans, but it was the Homestead Act of 1862 that truly opened the American West for settlement in a way no other legislation had before.

The act was signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln, but it was his predecessor, President Thomas Jefferson, who laid the groundwork. Jefferson designed a system known as the Land Ordinance of 1785, which organized the way that unclaimed lands to the west of the newly formed United States would be surveyed. Before 1785, property boundaries in the original colonies had been defined by an English system known as “metes and bounds,” which used general directions, and natural and man-made features, such as rivers, roads or fences, as boundaries. This was often problematic, because features like these sometimes shift, fall down, or are moved or replaced. Disputes over property boundaries were common. Jefferson knew that Americans were eager to settle on lands to the west, and he wanted a system in place that would provide a methodical way of allocating land, with clearly defined property boundaries. Another motive was monetary: The brand new United States Government was not allowed to directly tax the citizens, so by dividing the wilderness lands to the west of the original colonies and selling them to eager settlers, the government could raise the money it needed to function.

The largest square is called a township. Each township was six miles long and six miles wide, and was divided into 36 squares, called sections. Each section was one mile long on each side and contains 640 acres. The sections could be further divided into quarter-sections of 160 acres each, and the quarter sections are themselves divided into quarter-quarter sections of 40 acres each. The system is still in use today, and is known as the Public Lands Survey System (PLSS). This method of land division is etched on the landscape of Baca County. County roads and property lines all follow the grid established by the PLSS.

In 1862, The Homestead Act offered a quarter of a section, or 160 acres, for free to any citizen of the United States or person who intended to become a citizen, who was 21 years of age and the head of a household (that is, single or married men or single, divorced, or widowed women). For young people who wanted to own land in areas where most of it had already been claimed, or for city dwellers who dreamed of a more pastoral, agrarian life, this offer was irresistible. The hopeful homesteader

had to be willing to do three things: 1) file a claim, 2) build on the land and live there for five years, and 3) at the end of five years file a patent, proving residence and improvements. Of course, the first challenge homesteaders faced was just getting there. They not only had to acquire sufficient provisions to establish themselves in their new home, but they had to find the means to transport them, and their families. Covered wagons were the most common mode of transport, but later, settlers also arrived by rail and bought their provisions more locally. In Baca County, the railroad did not arrive until 1927, and thus had less impact on the settlement of the county. Settlers could take the train to Lamar and then travel south from there. But since the homesteading boom in Baca County was later than most areas of the county, many homesteaders arrived by automobile.

Homesteaders looked for claim sites that had good water, but if none were to be had they often dug wells. Understandably, it was hard for new arrivals to understand the water sources and terrain. Settlers often paid a “locator” to find land for them. Once they decided which land they wanted to file a claim on, they went to the land office, registered the claim, and paid a twelve dollar fee. With their claim receipt in hand, the new homesteader was faced with turning the land into a farm and building a home. Claim shacks were made from whatever materials were at hand, and often sod houses were the easiest to construct, especially in areas where trees were few.

Homesteaders in the West faced dire conditions as they attempted to establish their new homes. Isolation, extremes in weather, crop-eating insects, drought, floods, and many other obstacles led to a nearly 40 percent failure rate, as homesteaders left their claims and returned east or moved on to other claims. But by 1934, more than 270 million acres of land had passed into private hands under the Homestead Act. The Homestead Act remained in place until 1976, when it was replaced by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act.

Homesteading Boom and Bust in Baca County

As the land east of the Mississippi River became more and more crowded, the vast and open western frontier was promoted as a land of opportunity. By 1870, southeastern Colorado was beginning to attract pioneers. Hence, the new lands of Colorado were well advertised as holding potential for new markets and a climate conducive to agriculture, as shown by the rainy years of the 1870’s. Early settlers were encouraged by proclamations that rain would follow the plow, remaking the landscape of the plains. The first settlers arrived in Baca County in the late 1870s with the first land patent issued in 1884. Many more homesteaders followed throughout the 1880s. However, several years of drought along with the Economic Panic of 1893, led many settlers to rethink their decision to come to Baca. Many abandoned their claims before proving up, leaving it for the next wave of homesteaders.

In 1909, there were still 1,075,000 unclaimed acres in Baca County. In Colorado, only Las Animas, Rio Blanco, and Routt Counties had more land available. As other areas of the state filled up, a new generation of homesteaders decided to give Baca County another try. Baca County was one of the final frontiers open to homesteading; many

Come to Baca

If it’s money that you’re wantingHere is just the place to come, Leave those farms that you are renting, Come to Baca, get a home. Far beneath this sod there’s millions, And there’s millions more on top.For the man that has ambitionAnd good judgment raising crops. If it’s health, so much the betterYou can here regain your healthAnd while daily growing stronger, Enjoy accumulating wealth.Where the doctors are all leaving, All the undertakers broke, It’s one continual round of pleasureAnd life is nothing but a joke.

of the new arrivals came from Kansas and other nearby states where there was no free land left.

In 1909, the federal government enlarged the Homestead Act to accommodate the homesteaders moving into drier regions. The Enlarged Homestead Act allowed claims up to 320 acres in dry-farming areas where the land could not be irrigated. The additional acreage along with high wheat prices during World War I brought a wave of homesteaders to the county during the 1910s. In 1916, the Stock Raising Act allowed homesteaders to claim 640 acres in marginal areas where the land was suited only for grazing. Optimism and boosterism dominated the Springfield Herald during this period. Times became tougher during the 1920s as wheat prices dropped. Farmers, many struggling to pay mortgages, needed to plant twice the acreage to make the same profit achieved during the 1910s. The increased acreage of the 1920s would contribute to the environmental disaster of the 1930s as drought devastated crops and wind blew away the soil. Once again, many homesteaders were forced to abandon their land.

Baca County has a rich history tied to the land and agricultural production. Considering the semi-arid climate, new adaptations to agricultural practice were essential to the survival of early settlers and continued success of today’s residents.

Farming

Labeled the Great American Desert in 1823, the prevailing vision of the desolate high plains pervaded the American attitude toward cultivation of the plains. As land promoters and railroads worked to encourage settlement of the area after the passage of the Homestead Act of 1862, hopeful settlers began to attempt to make a life on the plains. Little guidance was offered to these settlers from the promoters, the government, or the state of Colorado. Bent on farming the semi-arid plains, the adaptations these settlers arrived at was the development of a new type of farming referred to as “dryland farming”; planting crops requiring little moisture and raising them without the aid of irrigation. The term dryland farming generally applied to farming in regions with less than twenty inches of rainfall per year.

A misguided theory promulgated by land promoters in the 19th century preached to western homesteaders and would-be settlers that rain would follow the plow, suggesting that increased farmed acreage would increase rainfall. Also popular was the notion that human interference could shape the semi-arid plains and create a garden in the desert. Precipitation dictated the success or failure of the early settler, even when participating in dryland farming techniques. This is particularly evident in the significant population losses experienced by Baca County in the early years of the 1890s and during the drought of the 1930s. The county lost nearly fifty percent of its population between 1890 and 1900, and over forty percent of the population through the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s.

The early twentieth century settlement of the plains coincided with not only the beginning of a (comparatively) wet weather cycle, but also with advances in agricultural machinery. New implements sped up plowing, planting, and harvesting; as a result, fewer workers were needed to cultivate greater acreage. Traditional farming methods, including deep plowing, manuring, and crop rotation were ignored in favor of specialized crops and maximized production. World War I brought record prices and new overseas markets for crops. Coinciding as it did with years of abundant rains, eastern Colorado farmers responded to the call “Wheat will win the war!” by planting even more acreage and reaching new production heights.

After World War I, agricultural price supports were removed and overseas demand declined as European nations rebuilt their agricultural economy. In order to sustain their cash flow, Colorado farmers had to further expand acreage and cultivation. Most of the good farm land was already under cultivation, so Colorado farmers pressed on into more marginal lands; also, a majority of the plains farmers now relied on cash grain crops. By 1931, for example, approximately 60 percent of the sod in Baca County had been broken for wheat. With less pasture land available, ranchers overgrazed cattle in the remaining areas. There was also a rise in tenant and “suitcase” farmers, who were often less concerned about soil conservation. If a wheat crop failed, these farmers could just leave the barren fields to the wind.

In 1930, in spite of record acreage cultivation and harvests, Colorado farmers were receiving less payment for their efforts than during the boom years of World War I. They were unable to repay loans for their land, machinery, and seeds as prices continued to drop. Title buyers began swarming into eastern Colorado to buy land from farmers in default. Neighbors tried to keep bids at mortgage sales low to allow farmers to repurchase their properties. Farm prices and wages continued to drop to record lows in early 1933, and threats of violence and demands for government action increased. All aspects of rural community life were affected as well, with bankruptcies hurting rural banks and tax delinquencies affecting all types of community services including schools, roads, and other public works.

Irrigation

Historically, dryland farming was the primary agricultural practice of Baca County and Colorado’s Eastern Plains. Irrigation was limited in the early years of settlement in Baca County and mainly existed in the form of surface irrigation, including the construction of dams designed to create a floodplain at high water. Alfalfa was a common crop cultivated by this method.

More extensive irrigation projects were too expensive for any single settler. In 1894, the federal government passed the Carey Land Act, also known as the Desert Land Act. The act allotted land to western states to be developed for irrigated farming. Individual states would regulate the land, select private companies to develop irrigation systems, and establish criteria for settlers. The companies would make money by selling irrigation water to the new settlers. The Two Buttes Irrigation and Reservoir Company contracted with the State of Colorado to construct a dam and canals across twenty-two thousand acres of government land in Baca and neighboring Prowers County.

The Two Buttes project was begun in the winter of 1909. The land to be irrigated included twelve miles, located in townships 27, 28, and 29 south, ranges 44 and 45 west of the Sixth Principal Meridian; almost a third of the land lies in Prowers County, while the rest remains in Baca County. Two Buttes Creek, part of the Arkansas River system, served as the water supply. The reservoir was planned to be four miles long, with a shore line of about twenty miles, and the main canal and ditches would supply water to nearby lands for irrigation. As in the terms of the contract, the water brought from the reservoir must come within a mile and a half of the land of each entryman, although sometimes this distance would be much closer. With construction beginning in 1909, the available water would be accessible by the year of 1910, with the hope of creating a successful planting season for Baca residents.

Under the Carey Land Act, 11,000 acres of land became open for filing, with another 11,000 to be assigned to a public drawing. Of the first opened 11,000 acres, “any qualified person may make a private selection of any tract not previously filed upon” and must file these claims in Lamar until all the tracts are sold. The public drawing of land was held October 21, 1909 at the Two Buttes townsite and “any qualified person [could] register for the drawing by making a deposit equal to the first payment on the land and water right.”

Publications advertising the Two Buttes region promoted the land as “a sandy loam of great depth and fertility.” Using the Lamar district as an example, promoters estimated that the principal crops of the newly irrigated region would be wheat, oats, rye, sugar beets, barley, and alfalfa, with additional experimentation with fruit crops including cantaloupes, apples, cherries and plums. Livestock would also see benefit from the Two Buttes project as stock could be more easily fattened with local crops. Attempting to advertise the climate, soil and potential for agriculture, the Two Buttes project became an effort to resettle the Baca area and a push for a return to prosperity through this opportunity of irrigated land. Today, the Two Buttes Reservoir rarely fills and water is no longer distributed through its canals.

Current irrigation in the county depends on the Ogallala Aquifer. Baca County sits at the edge of the Ogallala Aquifer, one of the world’s largest aquifers, covering 174,000 square miles. The aquifer is a source of groundwater supplying nearly thirty percent of the irrigated land in the United States. It was first tapped for irrigation purposes in 1911, though use of the aquifer did not gain popularity until the 1930s. The availability of electricity in rural areas and development of electric pumps encouraged development of irrigation from the aquifer through the 1950s. Artesian wells, which tap the aquifer, were popularized in Baca County in the 1910s, beginning with the town of Artesia. These wells gained increasing prominence in areas of Baca County around Walsh and Two Buttes, offering farmers the flexibility to add sugar beets to the traditional dryland crops. Artesian wells continue to serve the farms of Baca County.

The development of center-pivot irrigation in the 1950s increased the ease of irrigating fields and shaped the appearance of Baca County’s landscape. As the irrigation apparatus, comprised of steel or aluminum pipe suspended from a truss system, rotates around a center pivot, it creates a circular area of irrigation. The influence of this type of irrigation on western farmland is particularly apparent from a satellite view, as evidenced by the circular patterns on the landscape.

Broomcorn

Broomcorn was a major agricultural crop raised in Baca County from the 1880s to the 1970s. The broomcorn plant grows long straw-like fibers at its head, used in the production of brooms and as a packing material. The first crop was raised in Baca County in 1887 by Mr. Roseboom, a broom maker from eastern Kansas who homesteaded in the southeastern portion of the county. By the middle decades of the twentieth century, Baca County produced approximately one-third of the United States’ annual supply of broomcorn and by the 1970s had earned the unofficial title of “Broomcorn Capital of the World.” Built environment remains of the broomcorn boom include migrant worker complexes, including that of the Stonington Broomcorn Ranch (5BA.2316), and the numerous Quonset huts inventoried across the county. Though used for a variety of purposes, Quonset huts were commonly used to store broomcorn ricks and bales and date from the middle decades of the twentieth century (1940s to 1960s) when broomcorn cultivation was at its peak.

Drought resistant and fast growing, broomcorn was ideally suited to the semi-arid climate of Baca County, which receives about fifteen inches of precipitation each year. Broomcorn grows best in the sandy soils of the southeastern sections of the county. A member of the genus sorghum, broomcorn is an excellent cover crop that offers protection from wind and water erosion. The most popular variety of broomcorn raised in Baca County was Black Spanish, the “standard” variety. Dwarf varieties were also cultivated, including Reynolds 11 and Scarbrough. In addition to its attributes as a hardy dryland crop, broomcorn recommended itself well as a money crop when compared to grains grown in the area. Without railroad access within Baca County, until 1926 harvested crops had to be transported to adjacent counties or into Kansas, often with the closest station more than fifty miles away from the farm site. With the expense of travel, grain crops left little to profit prior to World War I. However, a farmer could expect sixty to one hundred dollars per ton of broomcorn, even in the early decades of the twentieth century, from which a respectable profit could be realized.

Large broomcorn operations began to take hold in Baca County in the early 1940s. In the wake of the Dust Bowl, the government paid farmers to “list” (plant) ground to guard against wind erosion. Farmers including Leroy Haney took advantage of this program, planted broomcorn, and paid little if any attention to the crop until harvest. In the days before “packing peanuts,” it was discovered that the top of the broomcorn plant used to make broom bristles was also an effective packing material; it was lightweight and flexible. As such, it was valuable in packing and shipping overseas during World War II. As farmers were paid by the government to plant their land and rewarded with a marketable product at harvest, broomcorn caught on as an ideal cash crop.

As a crop grown in a small geographic area by a limited number of farmers, little mechanical equipment existed to assist with the broomcorn harvest. As such, the work of the harvest was completed entirely by hand labor. An average man could cut five rows of broomcorn each day, the equivalent of an acre. Broomcorn rows had to be cut, allowed to dry, stacked, baled, and transported for sale. The contents of the harvest were sold to broomcorn buyers or brokers, often located locally, on a per ton basis. Price per ton varied greatly based on time period, market demand, and quality of the broomcorn. In the 1960s, a ton of broomcorn fluctuated between $100 and $400. Each acre yielded an average 400 pounds of broomcorn, requiring five acres to produce a ton as only the head of the plant is sold.

Essential to the labor-intensive harvest, migrant workers flooded the county in the fall. Harvest commenced in September, and was completed between November and January, depending on the number of acres and size of the crew. Common practice was for the farmer to provide room and board to his seasonal laborers. Housing was provided wherever possible, and large operations like the Stonington Broomcorn Ranch maintained a complex of buildings to provide housing and essential services to their seasonal workforce. Commissaries were often maintained by larger operations in order to provide basic staples including cooking supplies and clothing items, as well as candy, shaving cream, and other items of interest. Colloquially referred to as “broomcorn Johnnies,” migrant workers were generally of Hispanic or Native American descent, primarily from nearby Oklahoma and Texas.

Migrant workers in the 1960s earned what was considered a very good wage. According to interviews with local farmers, Ted Lasley paid his crews seven dollars a day plus board, while Ralph Bohl of the Stonington Broomcorn Ranch paid his crews nine dollars a day plus board or six dollars per row if the individual did not board at the Ranch.Broomcorn was a major crop until the late 1970s, when the labor situation made it difficult to maintain a crew, with few individuals willing to do that type of manual labor. In addition, new synthetic materials began to outcompete and replace the natural fibers of broomcorn in use for brooms and packing material. Broomcorn continued to be produced in Baca County through the 1970s, and thereafter was mainly produced as a crop for sale to novelty producers.

Ranching

In the years leading up to the influx of initial homesteaders, the open prairies of Baca County were used by range men for grazing cattle. From the end of the Civil War to the turn of the twentieth century, much of the land in Baca County was used by cattle outfits, including J.J. Company, X.I.T. Company, Muscatine Company, O.X. Company, and the “old” 101 ranch. The rich grazing land of Baca County became a popular choice of property for ranchers. By 1881, large cattle companies, such as J.J. Cattle Company, had 30,000 cattle and 16,000 acres of land, much of which extended into southeastern Colorado. The J.J. Cattle Co. headquarters were in La Junta,

but the herds of cattle roamed the area of Baca County, to the dismay of many early settlers. The “free range law” allowed for the large numbers of cattle to roam the land, often compromising early settlers crops and water supply.

Cattlemen began arriving in Baca County in the 1870s. In the early pioneer days, many large roundups and trail herds, moving thousands of cattle in and out of grasslands, took place across the land of Baca County. But in the 1880s, homesteaders began to arrive, fencing the prairie and pushing out the cattlemen. The early 1890s, however, brought the dual hardship of drought and depression for the early settlers of the plains. Several years of abnormally low rainfall in an already dry climate combined with the Economic Panic of 1893 drove many early settlers away. The 1900 census recorded a population of 759 in Baca County, nearly half that of a decade earlier. Many remaining settlers on the eastern plains were forced to turn to stock raising due to several years of crop failures, offering a renaissance in cattle ranching in the area.

The need for wheat and other crops due to the onset of the World War I contributed to the heightened agricultural production in Baca. The interwar years were especially difficult on the cattle industry. In addition to the encroachment of farmland, the cattle industry experienced a significant depression after the World War I, with prices dropping to as little as one-half to one-third their wartime value. In addition, increased farming, with the plowing up of the delicate plains soil, contributed to the onset of the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. When coupled with economic depression, the conditions of the 1930s were dismal for farmers and stockmen alike. During the 1950s, Baca County experienced another drought cycle that brought hardship to the livestock industry. The ranches tenaciously survived this period, and ranching remains an essential component of the agricultural economy of Baca County and southeastern Colorado today.

When Colorado achieved statehood in 1876, the federal government gave the state land to be used for the support of a public school system. The PLSS divided the state into townships, and sections 16 and 36 of each township were designated as school sections taken out of the public lands available for homesteading. The state could alternately lease these lands to raise funds for education.

The establishment of school districts and construction of school buildings reflected the population trends of rural Colorado. Where homesteaders settled, schools soon followed. These schools served a population spread out on farms and ranches. Because of the difficulty of travel, and the fact that most students walked or rode horses to school, efforts were made to locate schools close enough that children would not have to travel more than five miles. Often, rural school districts contained only one school. Under Colorado law, new school districts could be formed when at least ten parents within a proposed new district petitioned the county superintendent.

A total of seventy-three school districts, containing more than one hundred individual school buildings, were established across Baca County. These districts underwent multiple consolidations as the population of the county shifted and shrank. Most districts were represented by a single schoolhouse, usually containing only one room. Schools were often located on land donated by a local farmer who had school-age children. The farmer would donate the acre of land around the school to the new school district, often with the provision that the land would revert to its original ownership if the school was closed. Schools were commonly constructed of frame or sandstone, though the initial school might be a soddy or dugout

later replaced with a more permanent building. Frame schools were relatively easy to move, so as school enrollment shifted these buildings could be relocated as needed. Rural schools were local institutions managed by community members serving on local school boards. Elected county superintendents supervised local districts, including establishing curriculum guidelines and conducting bi-annual visits. However, the large number of school districts made supervision difficult, leaving districts a fair amount of autonomy. Rural school districts often had a shorter school year, arranged around the agricultural calendar since children were expected to help with harvest and other farm work.

Hist oric Context: Education

“The Little Red Schoolhouse” is a familiar appellation, but white is just as good, —better; for there is nothing prettier in buildings in the county than clean white. And on our plains can there be anything better to break the monotony of the way, than a well-built, symmetrical, white school house?

Rural schools typically offered instruction equivalent to grades one through eight. A single teacher taught all grades and all subjects in a combined multi-age classroom. If students wished to continue to high school, they would have to move to a larger school district. Rural students would typically make arrangements to board in town during the school year. The first high school in Baca County opened in Springfield in 1908. Before that, students had to go to Prowers County for high school. The Granada Union High School would accept Baca County students for a fee of one dollar per month.

The majority of rural school teachers were young women. Married women were not allowed to teach. Teachers were often not much older than their students and had minimal training. The minimum age for teachers was sixteen and the only essential qualification was passing the eighth grade comprehensive test. By 1920, the majority of teachers had completed high school, but the state did not require their college education until 1961. A Baca County teachers association was formed in 1909, providing a venue for teachers to discuss school issues. Topics presented at the March 1909 meeting included: “The relation of the teacher to the school;” “How would you interest a pupil in grammar?;” “Playground government a moral power;” “How to prevent tardiness;” and “Should pupils in class be allowed to ask questions of teacher when conducting a recitation.”

Rural schools were the focal point of rural communities. A school building might be the only physical structure indicating the location of a rural neighborhood. It was used for social gatherings as well as religious services, funerals,

and grange meetings. The school teacher was also expected to be more than just an instructor. The teacher organized box socials, dances, and holiday gatherings at the school and was often expected to serve as moral role model for the community.

In the 1930s, these small school districts were suffering. Already limited in resources due to their small size, the drought, dust storms, and Depression hit the districts hard. Many homesteaders were defaulting on loans and could not pay school taxes. The harsh conditions of the 1930s drove other homesteaders out, reducing the number of residents supporting the schools. The population of Baca County fell from 10,570 to 6,207 between 1930 and 1940.Several Baca County School districts benefitted from New Deal construction programs through the construction of improved school and gymnasium facilities.

structures were constructed in districts, including Edler, Konantz, and Two Buttes. The Edler School (5BA.1143) was constructed in 1937 and served the children of District 46 until consolidation in 1960. The Konantz School (5BA.1150) was constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1938, and served the children of District 26 until consolidation into the Walsh District in 1960.

In the 1940s, a movement to consolidate the state’s many small rural districts started to gain momentum, leading to the School District Reorganization Act of 1949. Consolidation was promoted as a means to provide a more equal education to students across the state. Consolidated schools could also offer better facilities, such as science labs and gymnasiums, as well as a wider range of classes. Improved transportation made these consolidated districts possible. However, many districts resisted reorganization. Baca County finally began the reorganization process under the provisions of revised School District Organization Act of 1957. This act recommended that no county have more than six districts. The county formed a School Planning Committee in July 1959 comprised of thirteen members representing the existing twenty-seven Baca County school districts. In consideration of the educational needs of local communities, school facilities already in place, potential transportation costs, the need to provide a twelve-grade education to all pupils, and eight other qualifications as set forth by Section 11 of the Act, the committee recommended consolidating districts as following: Walsh School District No. RE-1, Two Buttes School District No. RE-2, Pritchett School No. RE-3, Springfield School District No. RE-4, Vilas School District No. RE-5, and Campo School District No. RE-6. The Two Buttes district did not make the final consolidation scheme, and by July 1960 only the five current districts remained.

Rural one-room schools became obsolete. Between 1956 and 1961, the number of school districts throughout Colorado was reduced from 967 to 275. Alternative uses have included conversion to private residences, including the Liberty School (5BA.2022) and the Lewisville School (5BA.1445), and conversion to a community center in the case of the Stonington High School (5BA.2328). Other schools were left vacant, demolished, or deconstructed to reuse their materials.

Until the 1880s, Baca County had been primarily a place to pass through rather than a final destination. Three branches of the Santa Fe Trail passed through Baca County: The Cimarron Route, the Fort Union Granada Road, and the Aubry Trail. The Cimarron Route cuts across the southeastern top of Baca County. The Fort Union Granada Road followed Freezeout Creek, named for the Mexican soldiers who froze during a blizzard while trying to find shelter in a nearby canyon in the 1840’s. The Aubry Trail was largely used for the transportation of cattle and seldom used by the gold-seekers heading to California. From Kansas along Bear Creek to Five-Mile Water Hole and then on to the Santa Fe Trail, the Aubry Trail became a popular cattle route in 1851. The Santa Fe Trail and offshoots became important routes in the settlement of Baca County and the areas further westward. As the trails were traveled more regularly throughout the nineteenth century, homesteaders

eventually followed these passages to claim their holdings in the vast and open prairie land.

The official state survey of Baca County, dividing the county according to the PLSS, was submitted in 1881. After this point, most roads developed in the county followed the section lines, which would eventually create a grid system of roads across the county. These local roads, an essential transportation network for farmers and ranchers, are managed by the county. Crossroads communities sprang up where major highways or rural routes converged. Such locations offered strategic access to commercial opportunity. Automobiles became an important part of transportation in Baca County during the 1910s. The first report of an automobile in the county appeared in the Springfield Herald in 1905. In 1909, the drive from Springfield to Lamar, which now takes about 45 minutes, could be made in two and a half hours if the conditions were good. Since the railroad did not arrive in Baca

County until 1926, automobiles and trucks were an especially important part of the growth of Baca County during the 1910s and early 1920s.

Two U.S. Highways currently cut through the county; Highway 287/385 running south from Lamar through Springfield, Campo, and continuing on to Oklahoma, and Highway 160 running west from Kansas through Walsh, Vilas, Springfield, Pritchett, and continuing on through Las Animas County. State Highway 116 also cuts through part of the northern section of the county from Highway 287 east through the town of Two Buttes to the Kansas line. So powerful are connections with lines of transportation, particularly currently due to the prevalence of automobiles, that all remaining incorporated town centers in Baca County exist along one of the above-named highway routes.

The Colorado Highway Commission was established in 1910. The state’s first highway system was created by having counties submit maps showing their most traveled routes. A 1914 Colorado Highway map shows a route between Springfield and Lamar as the only primary state route in the county, though even this was an unimproved road. Before road numbering was introduced in the 1920s (state numbering in 1923 and federal numbering in 1927), named automobile trails, each with its own signage, were developed across the country. Two automobile trails crossed through Baca County. The Dallas-Canadian-Denver Highway ran from Denver to Galveston, Texas, and passed through Stonington and Springfield. The Plains Mountain Highway extended from Stonewall is Las Animas County to Kansas and passed through Springfield and Two Buttes.

Established in the 1920s as part of Colorado’s new numbered system, Highway 59 started at the Oklahoma border and headed northward through Campo, Springfield, Lamar, and on to the Nebraska border. By 1938, this route was paved from Oklahoma to Kit Carson. In 1940, the portion of State Hwy 50 south of Kit Carson became incorporated into US Highway 287. Originally established between Denver and Wyoming in 1935, US Highway 287 was extended to Oklahoma in 1940.

State Hwy 116, established in the 1920s, originally began at State Hwy 59 at Verdun in Prowers County, and stair-stepped down to Two Buttes. US Hwy 160 Map of the State Highways of Colorado, 1921

took over this route in 1932 when it was extended to Kansas. In 1936, the road was realigned to lead directly east from State Highway 59 in Baca County rather than stepping down from Prowers County. In the early 1950s, US Highway 160 was realigned to go through Walsh and became a state route again.

Filling stations, located within communities and at strategic locations, represented the growing importance of the automobile in American life. By 1915, mail delivery began to occur via automobile, and the Colorado State Business Directory of the same year boasts that Springfield received daily mail service via automobile stage from Lamar, fifty miles to the north. A filling station (5BA.2393) was conveniently located at the crossroads of highways 287 and 160, twelve miles west of Two Buttes and ten miles north of Springfield, along this mail service stage route. The filling station located at the former community center of Midway (5BA.2201) was strategically positioned at the midpoint of the commercial centers of Elkhart and Campo.

Railroads

Railroads were crucial to agricultural areas, where livelihoods were dependent on the ability of farmers and ranchers to transport their products to market. However, no rail line was present in Baca County until the 1920s, much later than the surrounding counties. This encouraged widespread adoption of the automobile and truck in Baca County. Goods heading for or departing from Baca County had to be transported from/to rail lines north in Prowers County or east in Kansas. When the railroad finally arrived, bypassed towns withered, new towns flourished, and, occasionally, whole towns moved.

Beginning at Manter, Kansas in 1926 and reaching its completion fifty-six miles later at Pritchett on February 1, 1927, the Atchinson, Tokepa & Santa Fe (AT&SF) stretched into Baca County, giving the area convenient rail access for the first time. Three new towns were established along the rail line: Walsh, Bartlett, and Pritchett. The Santa Fe Land Improvement Company offered choice lots, colloquially referred to as “Santa Fe Lots,” to merchants who consented to relocate to the new towns. As a result, many businessmen from Stonington relocated to Walsh and the prominent businesses of Joycoy removed to the new town of Pritchett. A second rail line of the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe, running north-south through the towns of Campo and Springfield, was not established until 1939.removed to the new town of Pritchett.

Hist oric Context: Commerce and Community

Farming and ranching has always been the primary commercial activity of rural Baca County. But before improvements in transportation reduced travel time within the county, farmers and ranchers relied heavily on small rural community centers to provide them with needed goods and services. Rural communities often spanned many square miles, but were focused around general stores, post offices, and schools. Rural residents strongly identified with their local community. They relied

on fellow community members to combat the isolation of living on widely dispersed farms. The community was also a support network and neighbors assisted each other with the harvest and other farming and ranching activities. Communities often consisted of little more than a post office incorporated into the headquarters of an individual ranch. Estelene, Maxey, and Monon offer examples of local citizens establishing a post office at their homestead to provide postal service communication to the population of the area. This type of community center tended to be short-lived, discontinuing service with population shifts or decision by the homesteader to relocate.

Between 1887 and 1889, more than a dozen communities sprang up across the plains to serve the waves of homesteaders arriving in the county. These included Boston, Carriso, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Brookfield, Springfield, Vilas, Decatur, Progress, Stonington, and Maxey. The drought and economic depression of the early 1890s chased away many new settlers and most of these communities disappeared almost as quickly as they had appeared. Only the towns of Springfield, Vilas, and Stonington survived this bust cycle. Very little is left of the communities dating from this period. With building materials in short supply, when the population began to climb again after 1900, new settlers made use of the old towns’ building stock through reuse of building materials and in some cases by moving entire buildings to new locations.

The second boom phase of Baca County, corresponding with the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909 and high demand for wheat during World War I, spurred the development of many new communities. Twenty-five new post offices were established between 1910 and 1920. The population of the county peaked in 1930, with the United States Census reporting 10,570. The county lost nearly forty percent of its population to the conditions of the Depression and Dust Bowl in the 1930s. The result of this rapid depopulation saw the reduction of the number of towns recorded in the 1941 Colorado Business Directory to eleven from the seventeen recorded in 1930. Ten post offices were closed between 1927 and 1939.

Rural commercial outposts were often tied to transportation lines, including highways and the railroad. Transportation networks drive the pattern of commercial development in the county, as they provide the means for accessing markets. The Atchinson, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad attracted commercial development close to the rail line, including the creation of three new towns and the demise of many bypassed towns such as Joycoy (supplanted by Pritchett) and Stonington (which lost many of its businesses to Walsh). With the exception of Two Buttes, all of the existing communities today (Springfield, Vilas, Walsh, Pritchett, and Campo) maintain an affiliation with the railroad. The improvement of roads and automobiles, as well as the consolidation of rural school districts, contributed to the disappearance of many rural communities.

The rise and fall of Baca County’s rural communities can be traced through the Colorado Business Directory and local news items in the Springfield Herald. The Springfield paper ran weekly columns with updates from local communities, including births, marriages, deaths, sicknesses, weather, crops, home improvements, social gatherings, and visits. Many of these communities were not formally organized and lacked even a post office, but functioned as important social centers. Many of the names are wonderfully descriptive of their location. Most frequently mentioned in 1910 were Artesia, Blaine, Lamport, North Flats, Poverty Flats, Pretty Prairie, Regnier, Sandy Arroyo, and Wentworth. Many of the articles show the optimism of settlers and promote opportunities for development that were never fully realized. According to an article from January 13, 1911:

Commercial Building in Bartlett (5BA.2501)

Artesia is located on the south side of the Two Buttes’ irrigation district and is an ideal spot for a town, having an excellent drainage. It is a beautiful sight to see the artesian wells, which are only 250 to 500 feet deep sending out several hundred gallons of water every minute, these wells being within reach of the poor man. The whole county is booming and will no doubt be a comer. Both Mr. Sheil and Mr. Breslin are loud in their praises of the country and predict great things for the people who are lucky enough to get it on the ground floor at Artesia.

By the late 1920s, a new collection of communities were being featured in the paper, including Nowlinsville, Sandy Soil, Pride, Oklarado Flats, Pilot Point, Valley View, Eagle Center, Graft, Richards, Antelope Flats, Liberty, Lone Star, Big Flat, Eureka, and Hopewell.

Most of these communities have completely disappeared. However, some traces still remain:

Minneapolis was established during the initial settlement boom of the 1880s. Though the town did not survive the drought and economic panic of the early 1890s, it at one time boasted a population of 500 or more. Of the settlement, only the cemetery remains. Original homesteader Gabriel Crill, who donated the land for the cemetery grounds, was interred here in 1931. The Crill family still owns land in the Minneapolis vicinity. The cemetery remains open and is maintained by the Minneapolis Cemetery District, staffed in part by descendants of early homesteaders from the area.

Stonington now comprised of about a dozen residents, recorded a population of 140 in 1925 and provided a wide variety of businesses and services including an electric light plant, billiards, chiropractic, barber, and creamery.

Konantz was established in the early 1910s. The small town claimed a population of about 15 and included only a post office and general mercantile. Of the town, all that remains today is the cemetery and an impressive WPA-constructed school building. Though the post office at Konantz existed for less than 10 years, the school district existed until Baca County consolidated its rural districts in 1960. Students of Konantz District 26 enjoyed a lively sports rivalry with the Stonington students through the 1940s and 1950s.

Edler, established in 1916, was initially little more than a post office and community center. By 1925, the community recorded a population of 10, including two general mercantiles, a blacksmith shop, and a freighter in addition to the post office. Edler reached its peak population of 25 in 1932, and maintained a steady population of about 20 through the 1950s. The Edler school was constructed by the WPA in the 1930s.

Bartlett can be found along Highway 160 east of Walsh. A grain elevator and commercial building are all that remain of the rail town of Bartlett, which once recorded a population of more than 50 and several business ventures including a garage, billiards, blacksmith, the Fairmont Cream Station, Farmers Elevator Co., Jett Hardware & Lumber Co., and general merchandise store. Bartlett was platted in 1926 as one of three towns created in response to the railroad. The town struggled to compete with Walsh and its post office was closed in 1938.

Joycoy No More

The funeral obsequies of Joycoy will be held tomorrow, interment to be made in the new Pritchett cemetery, when we would recommend the following be read, and then carved on its tombstone:

Here lies a berg what’s been revered, Killed by a new one what appeared.Poor Joy and Coy to heaven soardWhen the summons came to get on board. Good Joy and Coy has lived its dayAnd now forever has goned away, And we’ll all here wep for the adoredAs in its grave the coffin’s lowered.

From the Springfield Herald, April 15, 1927

Churches are anchors of community, significant both spiritually and socially. Along with schools, these were often the most prominent buildings in a community. For smaller rural communities there were often not enough people to support the construction and maintenance of a church. Instead, local residents often held Sunday gatherings in the local school or in private homes. Isolated communities were served by circuit preachers and when preachers were not available, local residents would organize their own Sunday Schools. Preaching schedules were printed in the Springfield Herald. The route of Methodist Episcopal Church pastor W.E. Morris for July 1906 included preaching in Springfield, Smart School House, Blaine, Konants, Stonington, Boston, and Maxey. The quality of sermons and the attendance at Sunday School were items that featured prominently in the community news section of the Springfield Herald during the 1910s and 1920s. Revival meetings also provided an opportunity for rural residents to hear a variety of sermons, be baptized, and feel a sense of belonging with a larger religious community.

Many community centers in Baca County included a local cemetery, generally located on the outskirts of the town, as in Campo, Springfield, Walsh, Pritchett, Vilas, and Two Buttes, and the abandoned towns of Maxey, Stonington, Minneapolis, Lone Star, Carrizo Springs, Boston, and Konantz. Town cemeteries are an essential element of community development and reflect the spectrum of a community’s history. Early graves are often covered over by field stone to prevent scavengers from exhuming the body, stone markers are often carved from locally available sandstone, and the semi-arid climate has preserved wooden markers used by early settlers when stone was not economically feasible. Temporary markers were often later replaced with more substantial markers by descendants. Little landscaping is included in the cemeteries of Baca County, though most are enclosed by a perimeter fence and accessed via a prominent gate announcing the name of the cemetery. Some rural cemeteries are all that remains to mark the location of a community. The town of Minneapolis died out in the 1890s, but its cemetery (5BA.42) continued to be used by local residents for the next hundred years.

Religion continues to play a large part in the lives of Baca County residents. Church services are still offered regularly in the larger community centers of Springfield, Walsh, and Campo, and multiple denominations including Methodist, Baptist, and Catholic continue to worship. The 1953 Edler Community Church (5BA.2163), which closed in 1987 as the community of Edler shrank, reopened in 2006 to offer Sunday evening Bible study to community members.

Hist oric Context: Depression and the Dust Bowl

Throughout the 1930s, eastern Colorado along with the majority of the Southern Plains states, experienced extreme droughts. Baca County was among the areas hardest hit, near the center of what was named the Dust Bowl. Southeastern Colorado received only 126 total inches of moisture for all the years between 1930 and 1939. This was 205 inches less than the previous decade, and well below the 18 inches annually needed to grow wheat. No rain meant no crops, and no crops meant no protection for the soil when the spring winds arrived.

Dust was not uncommon in the semi-arid areas of Colorado when the high plains winds blew, so no one was really surprised to see a few “dusters” in eastern Colorado in 1931. They came back the next year with more vigor, and by 1933 the dust storms were so intense that everyday life became almost impossible for both people and livestock. One storm, beginning on May 9, 1934 and lasting for several days, was estimated to have removed 300 million tons of fertile top soil off of the Great Plains. The storms actually increased overall in numbers and intensity as the “dirty thirties” continued, with 1937 being the worst on record. Colorado’s black blizzards of the 1930s were different in many ways from those of previous years. These were more intense, lasted for days, and returned nearly every year. The storms destroyed millions of farmland acres and caused mental and physical anguish to residents. Towns had to turn on their street lights during the day; dust sifted into buildings, causing people to put wet sheets over doors and window to try to stop the infiltration. They ate meals under a tablecloth and had to wear goggles or masks of wet towels while outdoors. Dust covered roads, fences, and cars, piling as high as snow drifts; rail traffic was stopped. Cases of dust pneumonia reached epidemic proportions in southeastern Colorado in animals as well as humans. Red Cross workers and nurses were sent to Baca County with masks and goggles.

During this period of blowing dust, called by some the worst ecological disaster in the history of the United States, an ever-changing area of over fifty million acres encompassing primarily southeastern Colorado, western Kansas, northeastern New Mexico, and the panhandles of Texas and Oklahoma became known as the Dust Bowl. There were no specific boundaries – it could change from year to year, season to season, and even day to day. In Colorado, Baca County in the southeast corner of the state was the hardest hit, but dust storms were not uncommon during the 1930s as far north as Burlington in Kit Carson County and Julesburg in Sedgwick County.

The ecological disaster of the Dust Bowl also led to a dramatic shift in government policy related to land use. Since the 1860s, the federal government had been focused on settling the plains. As the prime agricultural land was settled, the government expanded homesteading legislation to promote settlement of more marginal lands. As a result, the population of southeast Colorado boomed in the 1910s and 1920s. Fields of wheat replaced native grasses and pastures were overgrazed. When drought hit in the 1930s, there was nothing to hold the fine topsoil in place, resulting in the severe erosion and dust storms. Agricultural experts meeting to discuss the Dust Bowl crisis in Pueblo, Colorado in 1935 estimated that winds had blown 850,000,000 tons of topsoil off the South Plains that year. The Roosevelt administration created a series of New Deal programs including the Agricultural Adjustment

Administration, Resettlement Administration, Farm Security Administration, and Soil Conservation Service (SCS) to address the environmental crisis and change land use in eastern Colorado.

As if the dust storms were not enough, the Colorado plains suffered from recurring and serious infestations of grasshoppers during the 1930s. Grasshoppers seemed to thrive in the dry soil; they caused problems in 1934 and 1936, but swarmed in the billions in 1937 and 1938. They moved up to a mile and a half a day, and almost blackened out the sun. There were so many the ground appeared to be moving. The National Guardsmen, Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), SCS, and workers from the WPA were all called out to help with poisoning efforts. To make matters worse, even during this severe drought there were often brief periods of heavy rain, which in turn caused severe floods and further damage to counties denuded of vegetation by poor farming practices and drought. The citizens of eastern Colorado were truly in distress.

The combined effects of economic depression, drought, the Dust Bowl, and other ecological disasters had a devastating effect on Baca County. Although some families were able to survive, primarily through the New Deal programs the government implemented, many residents of Baca County residents could no longer support themselves. With no crops, income, livestock, rain, and in some cases soil remaining, they left in hopes of finding a better life. Baca County lost 4,363 residents from 1930 to 1940, representing a 41.3% loss in population in a single decade. The population never rebounded and 1930 remains the peak population year for the county.

Although the drop in population was dramatic, it is clear that without the aid of numerous New Deal programs the numbers remaining would be even lower. Several programs dealt direct relief to the needy residents of eastern Colorado and others aimed at recovery for the economy of the area. New Deal programs provided loans for farmers and businesses, or initiated changes to banking practices to help protect depositors and prevent bank closures. Direct relief to families in need came in the form of cash payments and food and goods allocations. Farmers received relief in the form of payments to keep lands fallow and for livestock unsuitable for slaughter. Relief figures for the Depression years show that there were few in eastern Colorado who did not benefit in some way from the New Deal. In 1936, more than fifty percent of Baca County residents were on the relief rolls. Many cases were farmers, both owners and tenants. In fact, only four states had a higher

s

percentage of farmers on relief at this period.

The single largest reason for “removing” someone from the relief rolls was assignment to the WPA. Federal funds totaling $1,064,021 were approved for WPA construction projects in Baca County. This figure does not include the local sponsor’s match, any state-sponsored construction projects (such as privies), or any of the numerous WPA service projects, such as the sewing, canning, and hot lunch programs. As the majority of WPA funds were required to go towards wages, these figures represented a significant boost to the local economy.

The WPA was the major source of public jobs for the unemployed during the latter part of the thirties. Its main goal was to put the unemployed back to work and off of the relief rolls. These jobs were especially vital in rural Baca County where there was no other work available for farmers and ranchers devastated by drought. The WPA funded numerous road and school projects throughout the county.

The majority of WPA construction projects in Baca County were transportation related, specifically the grading and graveling of farm-to-market roads. Culverts and bridges were included in many of these transportation projects although some larger bridges were built as separate WPA projects. Baca County had numerous WPA stone bridges and culverts built over the county’s dry creek beds and arroyos, which were sometimes prone to flooding. Some of the bridges were even constructed for the purpose of raising the road bed out of the dust in low areas.

Under the Roosevelt administration, the homesteading movement initiated by President Lincoln came to a halt. With the Taylor Grazing Act of 1934, the government closed remaining public lands to homesteaders. This land was in the arid and semi-arid West, already victim to overgrazing and dry land farming techniques. The government determined that too many people were trying to make a living on too little land, so no more settlement would be allowed in marginal areas. The act also authorized the U.S. Department of the Interior to establish grazing districts and manage a grazing permit system.

Established in 1934, the Land Utilization Program (LUP) was one of a range of New Deal programs intended to help alleviate rural poverty and restore economic vitality to the agricultural industry. The program’s creators argued that rural poverty was tied to soil erosion. They believed the loan defaults, tax delinquency and farm failures were the result of misguided settlement patterns and improper land use, rather than individual mismanagement. Through the LUP, the government would purchase submarginal and eroded lands, restore them, and then convert them to grazing, forestry, wildlife or recreation areas. Under the Land Utilization Program, the federal government purchased marginal lands in Baca County and promoted soil conservation methods thereon.

The government eventually purchased more than 4,700,000 acres of submarginal farmland and overgrazed rangeland in the West. The land was rehabilitated and turned over to federally-managed grazing. Through the local grazing associations managing the purchased lands jointly with other publically and privately owned lands, improved land use impacted more than 30 million acres.

In 1953, the management of these lands was transferred within the U.S. Department of Agriculture from the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) to the Forest Service. On June 20, 1960 the land in Baca was reorganized as part of the Comanche National Grasslands.

Survey Results

Reconnaissance-level Survey

The number of resources recorded during the reconnaissance-level survey far exceeded expectations. The initial estimate was 100-300 sites. With limited previous survey in the county, there was extremely limited data on the county’s buildings. Estimates were based on a cursory study of topographic maps and the rural population of the county. More of these resources than expected contained at least some historic components. Additionally, rural population numbers were deceptive since roughly half of the resources surveyed were vacant.

Expected resources included: farmsteads, ranches, irrigation structures, railroad resources, agricultural processing and storage facilities as well as rural schools, churches, and very small or abandoned communities. For the most part results met these expectations. However, no railroad related resources were identified. Only one large agricultural storage facility was surveyed (the Bartlett Grain Elevator) and no agricultural processing facilities. These types of resources were discovered to be primarily located within incorporated towns. Any rural railroad facilities appear to have been removed by the railroad. Limited historic irrigation structures were identified.

The condition of the historic buildings and structures surveyed generally ranged from fair to very poor. Many of the vacant properties have been abandoned for several decades, some since the occupants were forced out by the dust storms and drought of the 1930s. Thus, many buildings are in an advanced state of decay. Missing doors and windows are very common. Though about half the sites surveyed were no longer in use, there are many more individual historic buildings that appear to be vacant though they are part of a complex in active use. Many currently occupied complexes included historic barns that appeared to no longer be in use, replaced by Quonset huts, metal barns, and loafing sheds.

Prevalent property types:

• Farmstead/Ranch Headquarters: This category includes districts comprising a residence along with agricultural or ranch-related structures including barns, Quonset huts, loafing sheds, corrals, and grain bins. These are multi-use sites that function both as a residence and as the center of a farming and/or ranching operation. This survey only documented the primary building complex of a farm or ranch but many of these complexes may be part of larger rural historic landscape districts Total: 341 • Residential: This category includes sites that appear to be primarily residential in function. A house is the main feature of this category, but the site may also include a garage or small outbuildings. Many of the residences are currently vacant, and the fact that they do not currently include agricultural buildings does not mean that they were always solely residential. Total: 122 • Agricultural: This category includes sites with agricultural related buildings and structures such as barns, Quonset huts, corrals, loafing sheds, and grain bins but with no residential buildings. Total: 80 • Church or cemetery: This category includes churches and cemeteries. This includes cemeteries for incorporated towns when they are located outside of town boundaries. Total: 13 • Ruins: Some buildings were too far deteriorated to determine their original function. These were classified as ruins. Total: 22

Other buildings: The above represent the primary categories but some other building types were located in small numbers. There were three schools and three commercial buildings identified during the reconnaissance survey. The identification of these building types during the reconnaissance phase was difficult since they have often been converted to other uses and research is needed to determine their original function. The remains of six unincorporated communities were surveyed; there was some overlap with the school and commercial building categories with some buildings surveyed individually and some as part of a community. There was one recreation site (associated with Two Buttes Reservoir), one fairground (the Baca County fairground located outside Springfield), one migrant worker housing complex, one irrigation feature, and one work center (associated with the Comanche Grasslands). There were five sites for which the function was undetermined.

As these totals show, the vast majority of the built landscape of rural Baca County relates to farming and ranching. There are surprisingly few remnants of the many rural communities that were once located across Baca County. Several surveyed buildings, such as the Edler Community Church and the Bartlett Store, stand as the last tangible evidence of a community center.

The Built Landscape of Baca County The buildings present on a farmstead or ranch headquarters, evolved with years and accessibility of materials. With little

available in the way of building materials, particularly before the railroad reached the county in 1926-27, and little money to purchase such materials, homesteaders constructed their dwellings and agricultural outbuildings using locally available materials and creating a new architectural vernacular. Depending largely on the canyons for sandstone and the limited timber available, settlers commonly constructed dugouts, a distinctive vernacular housing type used as an initial dwelling on Colorado’s southeastern plains during the homesteading period. Generally treated as temporary structures, dugouts were often the first residence constructed on a homestead. Above-ground dwellings of stone, wood frame, and concrete topped with gabled, hipped, or, to a lesser extent, pyramidal roofs increased in popularity as building materials increased in availability and became financially feasible for individual

homesteaders. Sandstone could be quarried locally, particularly in the western part of the county. The physical remains of the early built environment of Baca County make this distinction more evident, as stone dwellings and outbuildings are found almost exclusively in the western part of the county and canyon lands, with frame structures more common on the flat plains areas.

As a result of the changing economy, homesteads were altered to accommodate the new needs of the large scale ranching industry. Outbuildings were constructed, along with numerous corrals and loafing sheds. Typically these structures were constructed as cheaply and quickly as possible with manufactured materials such as milled lumber and corrugated metal.

Farming has also evolved, with larger economies of scale. Farm size is much larger today than in the past, meaning fewer rural residents. Farm equipment is much larger, requiring the construction of large metal sheds to house it.

The following pages present a photographic overview of the residential and agricultural buildings of rural Baca County. Images were selected to show representative types. Other building types surveyed such as schools, churches, and commercial buildings are not included because too few were located to establish representative types.

Re

sults

Rural housing in Baca County was generally very simple and functional in design. Decorative features and stylistic embellishments are rare. The influence of the Craftsman style can be seen in the porches and massing of some

houses. The vast majority of houses are single story. The original homestead residence was generally quite small. Dugouts were often the first residence built by a homesteader, simple, sturdy, and requiring less material. If the homesteader was successful, their residences evolved over the years with additions and other modifications such as the addition of indoor plumbing, electricity, and central heating. The most common building material is frame. About forty percent of the frame buildings are covered with stucco and about thirty percent have been covered with some type of synthetic siding. Sandstone houses are found in the areas of the county where quarries were accessible. While these were likely much more common in the early decades of the county, today sandstone houses represent less than ten percent of the rural housing surveyed. The majority of houses feature gable or cross gable roofs, but hipped roofs are also fairly common. Since the 1950s, pre-fabricated modular houses and house trailers have become common housing options. The images below begin to illustrate the range of housing types and styles surveyed during the reconnaissance phase.

The majority of houses in rural Baca County are part of a larger farm or ranch complex. Most complexes are located fairly close to the road. The house tends to be located towards the front of the complex with outbuildings to the rear and sides. There does not seem to be a standard layout for the farm/ranch complex; instead complexes seem to have just evolved as needed for agricultural operations. Trees generally surround the complex, providing shade as well as a much needed wind break on the open prairie. However, trees are more often scattered around the complex rather than planted in straight shelterbelts as found elsewhere in eastern Colorado.

Most complexes include a barn, though barns in Baca County tend not to be as large or prominent as elsewhere in the state. Some classic frame gambrel roof barns are located in the county, but even these tend to be smaller than those in other areas. More common are single-story, gable roof barns. Since mid-century, many stone and frame barns have been replaced with pre-fabricated metal barns. This transition began with Quonset huts, which gained popularity in the late 1940s and 1950s. Quonsets provided flexible, multi-purpose space that could be used to store crops such as broomcorn or to house farm machinery. Technical advances in farming have led to larger and more expensive farm equipment. Generally far too large to fit in historic barns and outbuildings, farmers have erected metal sheds to house such equipment. These changes have left many historic farm buildings vacant or used for general storage.

Common features of complexes today include one or more houses (built to accomodate multiple generations on the farm), a barn, a Quonset hut, a garage and workshop, a variety of sheds including a large shed for equipment storage, Butler grain bins, corrals, and loafing sheds. Historic complexes may also include chicken houses, tankhouses, and windmills though these features are generally no longer in use and thus becoming increasingly rare.

Intensive-level Survey

Twenty resources were surveyed at the intensive-level. These can be divided into the following resource types: • Five homesteads • Four commercial buildings (2 of which were filling stations) • Three homesteads with a post office • Three churches and/or cemeteries • Three schools • One migrant labor complex • One grain elevator

The surveyed resources represent the range identified during the countywide reconnaissance-level survey. These sites were selected for their association with the settlement, agricultural development, and rural communities of Baca County.

Twelve sites were determined field eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under both Criteria A and C:

• Collins Ranch and Estelene Post Office/ 5BA.2600 (Exploration and Settlement; Agriculture; Politics and Government; Architecture)

• Ammann Homestead and Post Office/ 5BA.2098 (Exploration and Settlement; Politics and Government; Architecture)

• Highway 287 Filling Station/ 5BA.2393 (Commerce; Transportation; Architecture) • Johnston Homestead and Monon Post Office/ 5BA.2045 (Exploration and Settlement; Politics and

Government; Architecture) • Preston Homestead/ 5BA.1448 (Exploration and Settlement; Architecture)• Glasgow Homestead/ 5BA.2091 (Exploration and

Settlement; Women’s History; Architecture)• Wooley Homestead/ 5BA.2332 (Exploration and

Settlement; Architecture) • Bartlett Grain Elevator/ 5BA.2043 (Industry;

Architecture) • Bartlett Store/ 5BA.2501 (Commerce; Architecture) • Maxey Church and Cemetery/ 5BA.504 (Exploration

and Settlement; Architecture) • Midway Filling Station/ 5BA.2201 (Commerce;

Transportation; Architecture) • Lycan School/ 5BA.2416 (Education; Architecture)

Two more were determined eligible under only Criteria A:

• Minneapolis Cemetery/ 5BA.42 (Exploration and Settlement)

• Stonington Schools/ 5BA.2328 (Education)

Page 60: Rural Resources Survey of Baca County, Colorado

60

Two sites were determined eligible for only the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties:

• Edler Community Church/ 5BA.2163 (Architecture) • Stonington Broomcorn Ranch/ 5BA.2316 (Agriculture; Industry; Social History)

Three sites were determined not eligible due to advanced deterioration, extensive alterations, and/or a lack of information on the original owners:

• Lewis Homestead/ 5BA.2335• Lewisville School/ 5BA.1445• Wagner Homestead/ 5BA.2051

One site needs additional information: • Deora Store/ 5BA.2105

Of the sites intensively surveyed, five were in use and fifteen were vacant. Abandonment is the primary threat to the historic resources of Baca County. Many of the selected resources were chosen for intensive-level survey because of their poor condition and a belief that it was important to document them before they deteriorated further. Despite the poor physical condition of many of the resources, the surveyors believe that most of them still retain sufficient integrity to convey important information about the construction methods, design, and materials of buildings during the homesteading period in Baca County. Most vacant sites had been vacant for decades and have had little or no alteration (other than weathering) subsequent to the homesteading period. Only two sites, the Hwy 287 Filling Station and Deora Store, were determined to have lost their essential character defining features.

Of the sites still in use, two have been heavily altered, the Collins Ranch & Estelene Post Office and the Lewisville School (now the Ming Residence). However, alterations to the Collins Ranch & Estelene Post Office primarily occurred before 1960 and have gained significance in their own right, demonstrating the evolution of a ranching complex. The alterations that converted the Lewisville School to a residence destroyed much of the original design and fabric of the buildings. However, it was included in the survey as an example of the continuous evolution and reuse of buildings in rural Baca County. At least

two other schools (the Liberty School and Edler School) have also been converted to residences.

The Stonington Broomcorn Ranch was included in the survey for its association with the broomcorn industry and the migrant workers that harvested it. Also of interest is the fact that the complex includes barrack buildings moved from Camp Amache, a Japanese internment camp in Granada, Colorado. This complex was formed in the 1960s through the relocation of a variety of historic buildings to the site. Though significant for its role in the broomcorn industry, the complex was determined not eligible because it did not possess the exceptional significance needed for a site less than fifty years old to be determined eligible.

No archaeological evaluation was included in this survey. The Deora Store was evaluated as needing additional information since it is possible that an archeological survey could uncover additional information on the history of the store. The investigation of written and oral sources conducted for the intensive-level survey uncovered limited information on the Deora Store. Due to extensive ground disturbance, the survey team does not believe that the Lewisville School and Hwy 287 Filling Station have the same archaeological potential.

AreasofSignificance:

Settlement: Sites were determined eligible under settlement for their association with the settlement of Baca County under the homesteading acts. The homesteading movement in present-day Baca County began in the mid-1880s when the area was still part of Las Animas County. Though organized as a new county in 1889, new settlement declined in the 1890s due to the Economic Panic of 1893 and several years of drought. The next settlement boom did not occur until the 1910s. Many settlers were drawn by the provisions of the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909, allowing 320 acres per homesteader in areas that could not be irrigated, and the Stock Raising Act of 1916,

allowing for 640 acres to be claimed in areas only suitable for the practice of ranching. High agricultural prices due to the war in Europe also encouraged settlers to try wheat farming on the plains. Baca County grew dramatically in the early twentieth century, rising from a population of 2,516 in 1910 to 8,721 in 1920.

Commerce: Sites were determined eligible under commerce for their roles as rural commercial outposts. Businesses like the Bartlett Store and Midway Filling Station were scattered across the county, located in the numerous small communities that used to dot the landscape of Baca County.

Industry: One site, the Bartlett Grain Elevator, was determined eligible under industry for its role in the storage and shipment of agricultural products.

Politics and Government: Sites were determined eligible under politics and government for their association with the rural postal system. Rural post offices were often located on the farm or ranch of the local postmaster.

Education: Schools were determined eligible under education for their association with the history of rural education in Baca County. As large numbers of new settlers arrived in the county during the 1910s and 1920s, new school districts were established to serve their children. The county once had more than 70 school districts. Since most children walked to school, numerous small districts were needed to make education accessible to all.

Transportation: Filling stations were determined eligible under transportation for their association with the development of Baca County’s road system and the rise of automobile transportation.

Women’s History: One homestead was determined eligible under women’s history as an example of a property homesteaded by a single woman. Only women who were the head of a household were allowed to homestead.

Architecture: Sites were determined eligible for architecture primarily for their representation of the built environment of the homesteading period. Eligible sites are able to covey the lifestyles and architectural practices of homesteaders through their design, materials, workmanship, and construction methods. walked to school, numerous small districts were needed to make education accessible to all.

Periods of Significance: The period of significance for the majority of sites surveyed begins in the 1910s during the second homesteading boom. The period of significance usually extends from the 1930s to the 1950s depending on how long the site was in use. Only two sites were located that were associated with the initial homesteading boom of the 1880s, the Johnston Homestead and the Minneapolis Cemetery.

Counties in eastern Colorado are generally under-represented statewide in survey and National Register nominations. Very little documentation of rural resources has been conducted to date. Knowing what is located in each county is an essential first step to providing a basis for additional survey, preservation planning, heritage tourism, and economic development. This survey project was a pilot project, intended to begin to fill this rural survey gap. This survey identified more than 600 historic rural resources in Baca County, many more than the surveyors expected and a number which surprised Baca County residents. It demonstrates a rich rural history which has too often been overlooked.

Threats The primary threat to Baca County’s rural resources is abandonment and in turn demolition by neglect. Many of its homesteads and buildings associated with rural communities have been abandoned since the 1930s. Large numbers of these resources have already disappeared. The remaining resources are at a critical point. While it is often impractical and economically infeasible to preserve many of these buildings, it is imperative to document them before they disappear. Consideration should be giving to selecting the county’s most significant rural resources and thereby prioritizing preservation efforts.

sRecommendations

Many former homesteads are now home to herds of cattle. While the fact that grazing does not require the removal of buildings has saved many homestead complexes, the cattle can also cause quite a bit of damage to buildings, especially when there are no doors to keep cattle out.

AdditionalSurvey

Baca County:

The survey team believes that this survey project has provided a valuable overview of the number, types, and condition of rural resources in Baca County through reconnaissance survey. However, there are limits to what a reconnaissance-survey can accomplish. Views were often obstructed by trees, distance, or other buildings. Thus, many farm or ranch complexes that did not seem particularly noteworthy from the road may contain significant historic buildings and structures as well as contributing to a larger rural historic landscape. Also, there are sections of the county where the grid system does not extend, leaving many acres impossible to survey from the roadway. In order to survey these lands, a partnership will need to be established with local landowners to gain access. While gaining land owner cooperation can be a time-consuming process, it is possible as seen in the participation of ranchers in the recent survey of rural resources in nearby Las Animas and Otero Counties.

Research in COMPASS records for Baca County also showed that extremely little survey work has been done in Baca County’s incorporated towns: Campo, Pritchett, Springfield, Two Buttes, Vilas, and Walsh.

Statewide:

It is recommended that a framework be established to complete rural surveys across eastern Colorado and statewide. Priority should be given to counties with the least amount of previous survey or the highest development pressures (such as Weld County). The method of windshield reconnaissance survey utilized in this project (i.e. photographing all historic buildings visible from public roadways) is only feasible in counties like Baca, which are relatively flat in topography and have a grid system of county roads that covers the county. The counties in which an approach similar to the Baca County survey can best be applied are Kit Carson, Logan, Morgan, Prowers, Sedgwick, Washington, Weld, and Yuma. This method would

not be applicable to the western half of the state. There are also many counties in eastern Colorado for which other methods of survey will need to be developed. For counties without an expansive grid of public roads, a mix of reconnaissance from public roads and partnership with local landowners to gain access to private lands is recommended.

Defining Rural Survey:

Further refinement of the scope of rural survey is recommended. During this pilot project, the survey boundary was drawn between incorporated and unincorporated with all incorporated communities excluded from the survey. The advantage of this approach is that it spotlights often overlooked rural resources. In general, community resources are much more likely to

y

65

be documented and preserved than isolated rural resources. However, in Baca County this approach often seemed very arbitrary. There are six incorporated towns in Baca County: Campo (pop. 150), Pritchett (pop. 137), Springfield (pop. 1,562), Two Buttes (pop.67), Vilas (pop.110), and Walsh (pop.723). Small, isolated communities such as Two Buttes, Campo, Vilas, and Pritchett are very much a part of Baca County’s rural landscape and imtimately tied to the agricultural economy of the county. The rise and fall of rural communities was a major part of the story told through the Baca County and the exclusion of these communities meant that only those communities that failed were surveyed and those that have survived were excluded. Perhaps the division could be redefined with population numbers such as towns with a population under 500 people would be included, those with larger population excluded. A disadvantage of the division between rural areas and towns is that only part of the story of the development of the county is presented. In predominantly agricultural counties, the economy of the towns is closely tied to the success or failure of its ranchers and farmers. A survey which included the entire county, would present a more comprehensive picture of the history and historic resources of the county. Additionally, local organizations such as such historical societies, libraries, and chambers of commerce, who can provide valuable project support tend to be located in towns. Including the entire county in the survey could garner additional support from these organizations as well as more interest in the survey from town residents.

Federal and State Historic Tax Credits

Income-producing properties listed to the National Register of Historic Places, either individually or as part of a district, are eligible for a 20 percent tax credit, calculated against the qualified rehabilitation cost of the project. If designated ss contributing buildings in an income-producing enterprise, many ranch buildings are eligible for this credit. The National Park Service administers the federal program. http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/tps/tax/index.htm

Colorado is one of thirty states offering a state rehabilitation tax credit. The primary difference between the federal credit and the Colorado state credit is that the state credit is available to owner-occupied residences. The credit is available for 20 percent of $5,000 or more of qualified rehabilitation work on eligible properties. The credit caps at $50,000 per eligible property. www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/programareas/itc/taxcredits.htm.

State Historical Fund

The State Historical Fund was created by the 1990 constitutional amendment allowing limited gaming in the towns of Cripple Creek, Central City, and Black Hawk. The amendment directs that a portion of the gaming tax revenues be used for historic preservation throughout the state. Funds are distributed through a competitive process and all projects must demonstrate strong public benefit and community support. Grants vary in size, from a few hundred dollars to amounts in excess of $200,000. The Fund assists in a wide variety of preservation projects including restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings, architectural assessments, archaeological excavations, designation and interpretation of historic places, preservation planning studies, and education and training programs. http://www.coloradohistory-oahp.org/programareas/shf/shfindex.htm
