1996 Map of Carrizo Mountain

About this map

The Comanche National Grassland dominates this 1990s landscape at the border of Las Animas Co and Baca Co. This area reflects a specialized cattle and range economy, centered on the management of arid lands and the utilization of intermittent water sources. The map identifies numerous vital watering points such as Tub Spring, Pintada Creek, and several Wells and Springs that sustain livestock across the mesas. Settlement is sparse, represented by the Everett Ranch, which serves as a reminder of the ranching legacies in southeastern Colorado. Local history is documented through landmarks like the Carrizo Springs Cem and an isolated Grave near East Carrizo Creek. The physical terrain is defined by Carrizo Mountain and the prominent Potato Butte, while the Carrizo Canyon Trail provides a route through the canyon systems.
