2022 Map of Hidden Valley Ranch

About this map

The drainage of the Apishapa River defines this landscape in Las Animas County, where intermittent waterways like Sorgs Arroyo and Elmore Arroyo carve through a terrain of high mesas and isolated buttes. The map reveals a remote ranching territory where local landmarks like Cordova Mesa and Cone Mtn rise above the surrounding flats. Evidence of early settlement and family history is anchored by the Thorp Cem in the northeastern quadrant, serving as a vital point of reference for genealogists tracing the area's rural inhabitants.
