About this map

Cordova Mesa and the wide expanse of Tyrone Flats define this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, where seasonal drainages like Sorgs Arroyo and Elmore Arroyo carve through the arid terrain. The Apishapa River winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, serving as a primary hydrological feature for local ranching operations. Significant topographic landmarks provide orientation across the range, including the prominent Flattop Butte, Cone Mtn, and Gobblers Knob.

Evidence of early regional history is found at the Thorp Cem in the northeast, while the modern landscape is anchored by the Hidden Valley Ranch. The map details a network of rural routes such as Co RD 86 and Co RD 74.2 that connect these remote homesteads and landmarks like Brushy Knob and Mica Butte. This survey provides a precise view of the land division and natural water features, from East Tank to the winding Hickok Canyon.
