Springfield is the small county seat of Baca County on Colorado’s High Plains — quiet, low‑cost, and community‑focused, making it an easy, restful base for multi‑week contracts with wide open skies and straightforward daily life rather than a bustling urban scene.
If you want more options for dining, shopping or medical services within a reasonable drive, Lamar (≈47 miles) and nearby Boise City, OK (≈47 miles) are the closest larger hubs for errands, clinics and occasional nights out.
