Purgatoire River carves through the northwestern corner of this Las Animas County landscape, establishing the deep relief of Purgatoire Canyon within the high plains. The terrain is defined by a series of significant drainage systems, including the winding Bachicha Cr which flows through the namesake Bachicha Canyon in the southeast. These natural features dictated the early settlement patterns of the region, where flat mesa tops are partitioned by deep, family-named draws such as Henry George Canyon and Perly Canyon.
