About this map

Chacuaco Canyon and Poitrey Canyon dominate this Las Animas County landscape, where deeply incised drainages carve through the high plains. The drainage network is defined by the winding courses of Chacuaco Creek, Poitrey Creek, and Tobe Creek, which dictate the placement of local infrastructure and historic landmarks. The human imprint on this arid environment is sparse, centered around the Linder Camp settlement and a small network of rural routes including County Rd 157. Distinctive geological and land-use markers serve as critical orientation points for the area, most notably the named landforms of Heart Rock, Seven D Pocket, and Bar Four Pocket. These labels suggest a history of ranching and natural landmarks used for navigation across the broken terrain of southern Colorado during the early 21st century.
