1978 Map of Furnish Canyon East

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Black Mesa dominates the southern reaches of this landscape where the borders of Colorado and New Mexico intersect across Las Animas, Baca, and Union counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages, including West Carrizo Creek and East Carrizo Creek, which carve through deep canyons such as Skull Canyon and Bear Canyon. Isolated signs of human habitation and markers of early surveying are scattered throughout this arid region, including Durham Ranch and the settlement at Ellmore. Local history is captured in discrete landmarks like the solitary Grave near North Carrizo Creek and various monuments such as Preston Mon, Johnston Mon, and Macomb Mon. This 1970s survey illustrates a rural economy reliant on water sources like Furnish Spring and Wells, alongside scattered extractive activity indicated by several labeled Mine sites and Prospects.
