2016 Map of Furnish Canyon West

About this map

W Carrizo Cr threads through the high mesa country of southeastern Colorado, where the landscape is defined by deep incisions and high plateaus. This 2016 survey shows a territory dominated by landforms like Black Mesa and the drainage systems of Baldy Canyon and Furnish Canyon. The sparse infrastructure of Las Animas County is represented by a handful of rural routes, including Co Rd 10.8 and Co Rd 22.1, which navigate the complex topography. To the south, Sheep Pen Canyon and the winding course of Co Rd 213.8 provide evidence of land use in a region where cattle ranching and open range have long dictated the human footprint. The map's detail of the Public Land Survey System grids highlights the vast, organized sections of the high plains, offering a clear view of how this remote terrain was partitioned for settlement.
