About this map

Catskill sits at the heart of this rugged drainage network where the Canadian River cuts through the high desert of Las Animas County. The settlement and the nearby Catskill Cemetery serve as primary points of interest for genealogists and local historians researching this sparsely populated corridor. The landscape is defined by an intricate system of deep ravines, including Arch Redd Canyon, Stubblefield Canyon, and Cemetery Canyon, which drain the surrounding highlands toward the river basin.

Evidence of ranching and early mountain industry is visible through labels such as Parsons Ranch, Shingle Mill Canyon, and Armstrong Camp. The southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the broad Caliente Canyon, while the northeastern corner rises toward the Park Plateau. These family-named landmarks and canyons like Ben Thompson Canyon provide a detailed look at the geographic naming conventions and historical land use in this part of southern Colorado during the early 21st century.
