About this map

Fort Carson Military Reservation dominates this 1993 topographical study of the Las Animas County high plains, specifically the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage channels including Big Arroyo, Burke Arroyo, and Van Bremer Arroyo, which cut through the arid terrain. The map records a sparse human imprint concentrated on ranching and military utility, featuring remote outposts like Brown Sheep Camp and Burson Camp.

Strategic infrastructure and navigational aids are prominent, with several named landmarks such as Joella Windmill and Dial Windmill serving as vital water points. The southern edge of the sheet is hemmed in by the distinct geological rise of The Hogback, while numerous GPS marker points and drill holes reflect the area's use for specialized military training and geological survey work in the late twentieth century.
