About this map

Branson anchors the southeastern corner of this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, where human settlement meets a complex network of intermittent drainage. The area is defined by its water sources and rugged landmarks, including Watervale Butte and the prominent Saddle Rock. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies three distinct burial sites: Mountain View Cem near the town center, Cejita Cem, and Romero Cem further west.

Surface water is characterized by seasonal arroyos and creeks, such as Trementina Cr and Doss Arroyo, which carve through the terrain. Vital local water points like Romero Spring and Brown Spring appear alongside a grid of county roads, including Co RD 6.8 and Co RD 133, that connect the isolated homesteads and ranching tracts of this borderland region. The street plan of Branson itself is documented with labels for William St, Oliver St, and Athey.
