2023 Map of Caliente Canyon North

About this map

Catskill Cem sits above the Canadian River, serving as a silent witness to the history of this high-altitude landscape where the Sangre de Cristo foothills meet the plains. The complex drainage network of northern Colfax County is defined by deep cuts like Stubblefield Canyon and Penitente Canyon, while the north-to-south transition across the state line from Las Animas County, Colorado, reveals the rugged topography of the Maxwell Land Grant region. Access through these drainages is primarily tracked via York Canyon Rd, which skirts the ridges above Caliente Canyon. The map records a geography shaped by water and timber, with names like Shingle Mill Canyon and Cemetery Canyon indicating the early industrial and social foundations of the area's pioneer era.
