About this map

The Comanche National Grassland dominates this landscape in southern Colorado, where deep canyons and high mesas define the high plains environment. The Purgatoire River carves a path through the northwest corner, creating the expansive Purgatoire Canyon and revealing geologic formations such as Window Rock and the Picture Window. This survey illustrates the intricate drainage systems and topography of the region, where numerous named canyons like Beaty Canyon, Rourke Canyon, and Stinking Hole Canyon descend toward the river basin.

Water management is a central theme of this territory, evidenced by the distribution of numerous named windmills such as the Padilla Windmill, Sixteen Windmill, and Red Bench Windmill. These features, along with scattered water sources like Goat Ranch Spring and Sumpter Spring, highlight the essential infrastructure required for ranching and land management within the Comanche N G. Higher elevations are marked by landmarks like Clark Hill and Piñon Park Hill, providing a comprehensive look at the rural character of Las Animas County.
