2013 Map of Buck Canyon

About this map

Buck Canyon and Brown Canyon dominate this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, where the terrain is deeply incised by seasonal watercourses. The drainage network is defined by Two Butte Cr flowing across the northern sections, while Mustang Cr and its tributary, Little Mustang Cr, carve through the southern reaches. This early 21st-century survey illustrates a sparsely populated region primarily organized by a grid of county roads, such as CO Road 211 and Co Rd-70.0, which provide access to this isolated ranching and grazing country. The map reflects the enduring cadastral framework of the Public Land Survey System, showing the townships and ranges that have governed land division here since the late 19th century.
