2010 Map of Furnish Canyon West

About this map

Black Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this high plains region, where the drainages of West Carrizo Creek and Tecolote Creek cut through the arid terrain. The map reveals a remote ranching or grazing territory defined by significant natural landmarks such as Furnish Canyon and Baldy Canyon. A sparse network of roads, including County Rd 22.1 and County Rd 213.8, provides the only navigational framework through these expansive canyons. The alignment of these routes suggests a landscape where travel is dictated by the rugged topography of Sheep Pen Canyon and the surrounding mesa, reflecting a post-settlement era of low-density land use in Las Animas County.
