About this map

Mesa de Maya dominates the northern skyline of this high-plateau landscape, where the land falls away into a complex network of drainages and dramatic geological features. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Jesus Mesa, Cobert Mesa, and the isolated Seven L Buttes. Between these heights, the country is carved by numerous named canyons, including Honeymoon Canyon, Steel Trap Canyon, and Flathead Canyon.

Transport through this part of Las Animas County is sparse, primarily represented by Co RD 181. The map reveals a land structured by its physical geography, from the sharp relief of The Hogback and Brushy Mtn to the natural passage at Cotton Gap. These features suggest a landscape where ranching and traditional land use are dictated by the deep incisions of Rodriques Canyon and Gotera Canyon, providing a detailed view of the regional topography as it appeared in 2016.
