1972 Map of Cobert Mesa North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Cobert Mesa and Jesus Mesa dominate this portion of Las Animas County, showing a landscape defined by dramatic tablelands and deeply incised drainages. Published in 1975 from 1971-1972 field data, the map illustrates a network of seasonal water sources and canyons, including the prominent Cobert Canyon and Cottonwood Canyon. A series of Springs are mapped throughout the breaks, indicating the vital water points necessary for ranching in this arid environment. Significant landmarks like the Seven L Buttes and Brushy Mountain provided essential navigational markers for local travel. The presence of numerous Jeep Trails cutting through The Hogback and Steel Trap Canyon suggests a region of sparse settlement where movement followed the natural contours of the mesas and canyon floors.
