About this map

Black Mesa dominates the central landscape of this Colorado-New Mexico border region in Las Animas County. The area is defined by a series of deep drainages including Furnish Canyon to the southeast and Baldy Canyon in the northwest. This 2019 survey illustrates a dry-country landscape where water movement is channeled through seasonal reaches like W Carrizo Cr and Tecolote Cr.

Transport through this isolated portion of the high plains is limited to a sparse network of county routes, such as Co RD 213.8 and Co RD 10.8, which follow the natural contours of the mesas. Named landforms like Sheep Pen Canyon suggest a history of ranching and livestock management in this arid environment. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines that divide this corner of Colorado, showing the intersection of t34s r52w and its neighboring sections.
