2013 Map of Johnson Canyon

About this map

Johnson Canyon and the surrounding drainage network define this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County. The map captures a transition where the Purgatoire River and its major tributaries, including Chacuaco Cr, have carved deep canyons into the terrain. Human presence in this environment is marked by scattered infrastructure essential for ranching and aviation, notably the Jecan Airport and a series of remote water sources such as the Garfield Windmill, Round Corral Windmill, and Double Tank Windmill.
