2010 Map of Cobert Mesa North

About this map

Mesa de Maya dominates the northern landscape of this high-plains terrain in Las Animas County, where the topography is defined by massive flat-topped mesas and deep, branching drainages. The complex network of canyons, including Honeymoon Canyon and Steel Trap Canyon, illustrates a land sculpted by erosion. To the south, Cobert Mesa and Cotton Mesa rise above the surrounding flats, separated by natural landmarks like The Hogback and Cotton Gap. This 2010 survey shows a sparse human footprint, with County Rd 181 serving as one of the few established routes through the area. Local naming conventions such as Gotera Rincon and Seven L Buttes suggest a long history of ranching and navigation through this arid Colorado borderland.
