2011 Map of Andrix

About this map

Andrix serves as the quiet center of this high plains landscape in Las Animas County, where the grid of rural roads meets the winding courses of ephemeral waterways. The settlement is anchored by the Andrix Cemetery, a vital site for genealogical research in this part of southeastern Colorado. The surrounding terrain is defined by the drainage patterns of O U Creek and Mustang Creek, which cut through the landscape north of the main settlement. A network of local thoroughfares, including County Rd 52 and Co Rd 215, facilitates travel through this ranching country. The map illustrates a sparse, wide-open settlement pattern typical of the region in the early 21st century, where large-scale land divisions and remote homesteads rely on these primary gravel and dirt routes for connectivity.
