2019 Map of Brown Sheep Camp

About this map

Brown Sheep Camp sits as a solitary named point of settlement within this arid drainage basin in southern Las Animas County. The landscape is defined by a series of seasonal watercourses, including Big Arroyo, Taylor Arroyo, Burke Arroyo, and Van Bremer Arroyo, which carve through the high plains. Significant topographical features like The Hogback and Big Arroyo Hills provide vertical relief in an area primarily used for grazing and ranching operations. At The Gap, the terrain funnels between elevated landforms, illustrating the natural travel corridors used in this part of the state. The presence of Co RD 70 and Co RD 54 indicates the sparse but essential road network connecting these remote camps and range lands, while the township and range lines of the Public Land Survey System underscore the orderly division of the American West.
