About this map

The Apishapa River winds through this landscape of deep-cut canyons and high passes, where the small settlement of Gulnare sits in the northeastern reaches. This 2010 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex water systems, notably the Upper Reservoir Number 4 Dam and the various forks of Trujillo Creek to the north. The geography is characterized by numerous named drainages, including Luis Canyon, Mitotes Canyon, and Jarosa Canyon, each reflecting the distinct topographical character of the Las Animas County region.

Local history is grounded at the Jarosa Cemetery, a significant landmark for genealogists tracing family roots in this rural area. Significant transit points like Cottontail Pass and the winding course of Burro Canyon provide a sense of the movement through this high country. The map also identifies water features such as Mitotes Lake and Trujillo Creek, which serve as vital landmarks for understanding the hydrology and land use patterns of the period.
