2013 Map of Furnish Canyon West

About this map

Black Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Colorado-New Mexico borderland, rising above a network of drainages and rugged canyons. The geography is defined by deep incisions like Furnish Canyon and Sheep Pen Canyon, which channel seasonal water toward W Carrizo Cr and Tecolote Cr. This terrain in southeastern Las Animas County is largely undeveloped, marked primarily by a sparse grid of county roads including Co RD-22.1 and Co RD-10.8. The map documents the intricate contouring of the high plains plateau as it transitions into the canyonlands, revealing a prehistoric-looking environment where natural landmarks like Baldy Canyon provide the only orientation for those navigating this remote stretch of the American West.
