2019 Map of Carrizo Mountain

About this map

Carrizo Springs sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the drainage systems of E Carrizo Cr and Cottonwood Cr carve into the semi-arid terrain of the Comanche National Grassland. The map reveals a land defined by its scarce water sources, evidenced by Tub Spring and the deeply etched contours of Deep Hole Canyon and Bushy Canyon. Elevations rise significantly at the volcanic prominence of Mt Carrizo and the adjacent Potato Butte, which provide the area’s most striking topographical relief. For those researching local history, the Carrizo Springs Cem remains a primary anchor for the small community. The intersection of county roads, such as Co RD M and Co RD 3.1, illustrates the grid-based ranching and transport network that spans the border of Las Animas and Baca Counties.
