2020 Map of Caliente Canyon North

About this map

Catskill Cem sits at the heart of this landscape, marking a point of rest in the high-elevation terrain where the Canadian River cuts through the borderlands. The map details a complex network of drainages, including Long Cr and Stubblefield Canyon, which feed into the primary river system. This area, straddling the line between Las Animas County and Colfax County, is defined by its numerous family-named canyons such as Ben Thompson Canyon, Williams Canyon, and Arch Redd Canyon. Transportation through this dissected geography is facilitated primarily by York Canyon Rd, which winds through the central portion of the quadrangle. The naming conventions, including Shingle Mill Canyon and Commissary Canyon, suggest a legacy of early industry and local homesteading in this corner of the border region between Colorado and New Mexico.
