2016 Map of Furnish Canyon East

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates the eastern landscape of this high plains region, where the borders of Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of dry washes and deep incisions, notably Furnish Canyon, Ellmore Canyon, and Deep Hole Canyon. Prominent landforms such as Black Mesa and Lone Mesa rise above the drainage systems of W Carrizo Cr and N Carrizo Cr. Human activity in this arid environment is highlighted by water management features like the John L Jones Reservoir and the A F Mizer Number 1 Reservoir, supporting life in a landscape where county lines for Las Animas and Baca meet at the state line.
