About this map

Box Ranch serves as a primary landmark in this portion of Las Animas County, situated among the high plains and canyons of southern Colorado. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, including the prominent Piñon Ridge in the northwest and the deep incision of Aguaje Canyon to the east. Watercourses such as Bachicha Cr and Chacuaco Cr weave through the landscape, illustrating the drainage patterns essential to ranching in this arid environment.

Transportation in this mid-2010s survey is restricted to a network of county roads, specifically Co RD 147, Co RD 34.7, and Co RD 143. These routes follow the section lines of the Public Land Survey System, which divides the area into townships like t32s r58w and t33s r57w. This map offers a clear view of the modern rural infrastructure and land management boundaries used by local families and government agencies.
