About this map

The Apishapa River winds through this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, carving a path through a series of dramatic geological formations. The terrain is defined by prominent landmarks such as Cordova Mesa, Miners Canyon, and the distinct elevations of Mica Butte and Cone Mountain. This 2010 survey shows a sparsely settled region where ranching and water management are vital, evidenced by the eponymous Hidden Valley Ranch and isolated water sources like Springer Well and East Tank.

To the northeast, the Thorp Cemetery stands as a quiet marker of local genealogy near the river's path. The southern portion of the map levels out into the broad expanse of Tyrone Flats, while the northern reaches are broken by West Cross Canyon and Smith Hollow. This documentation provides a clear view of the complex arroyo systems, including Sorgs Arroyo and Bates Lake Arroyo, which dictate the movement of water across this arid environment.
