About this map

The Dry Cimarron River winds through this high-plateau borderland, defining a landscape of deep drainages and prominent flat-topped mesas. Situated along the boundary between Las Animas County, Colorado and Union County, New Mexico, the terrain is heavily carved by an intricate system of canyons. Notable landforms like Island Mesa, Timber Mesa, and River Mesa stand as elevated islands above a network of seasonal watercourses. The network of canyons, including Homestead Canyon, Milady Canyon, and Brushy Canyon, suggests a long history of water erosion and provides a clear picture of the region's complex topography. Human presence is marked by primitive and secondary routes such as Long Canyon Rd and various county roads that navigate the edges of these dramatic relief features. This modern survey illustrates the persistent geographic character of this arid border region where the high plains meet the canyonlands.
