The Purgatoire River carves through this Las Animas County landscape, dictating the placement of an intricate network of irrigation channels like the Model Ditch and Hoehne Ditch. Near the center of the sheet, the settlement of Earl sits along the rail line, representing the transition from river-bottom ranching to high-plains transport. The presence of both the Bloom Cem and Wilcox Cem provides valuable location data for genealogists tracing early families in this stretch of Southern Colorado.
