About this map

Buck Canyon and Brown Canyon carve deep drainage patterns through this section of Las Animas County, forming a network of arroyos that feed into intermittent watercourses. The landscape is defined by the systems of Two Butte Cr in the north and the winding paths of Mustang Cr and Little Mustang Cr to the east and south. A small tributary labeled O U Cr cuts through the southwestern corner, illustrating the complex natural irrigation of this arid region.

Transportation is confined to a grid of rural county roads, such as Co Rd 211 and Co Rd 70.0, which follow the township and range lines established by the Public Land Survey System. These routes, including Co Rd 56 and Co Rd 66.8, provide access to the vast ranching tracts of southeastern Colorado. The map meticulously documents the transition between the flat high plains and the rugged breaks of the canyon country.
