1972 Map of Doss Canyon North

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a deep, winding course through the high plains of Las Animas County in this 1970s landscape. This topographical study captures the complex network of drainage systems feeding into the river, characterized by prominent features like Doss Canyon and Lockwood Canyon. The terrain is defined by its vertical relief, where narrow canyons such as Little Pine Canyon and Dead Horse Canyon intersect with broader arroyos like Taylor Arroyo. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by a Landing Strip and the Waller landmark near the eastern edge. A spiderweb of Jeep Trails provides the primary means of navigation through the uplands between Henry George Canyon and Alejandro Canyon, illustrating the remote and specialized transit required for land management or exploration in this part of Colorado.
