2017 Map of Casa Grande

About this map

Vermejo Park and the small settlement of Casa Grande anchor the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the high plains of northern New Mexico meet the Colorado border. The terrain is defined by a dense network of steep drainages, including the Canadian River and the Vermejo River, which carve through the high country. A complex series of canyons, such as Stubblefield Canyon and Penitente Canyon, dominate the central topography, while Butler Flats provides a rare level landing above the deeper draws. The road network is sparse, centered primarily on York Canyon Rd and the appropriately named School House Rd, reflecting a landscape dedicated to ranching and open space. The northern margin of the map traces the state line between Colorado and New Mexico, highlighting the intersection of Colfax and Las Animas counties.
