USGS Topo · Published 1985About this map
The Purgatoire River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Las Animas County, defining a complex network of side canyons and plateaus. Settlement in this arid landscape is marked by isolated infrastructure, such as the Landing Strip and a series of livestock-related water sources including Garfield Windmill, Double Tank Windmill, and Round Corral Windmill. The presence of the Johnson Cem near Johnson Canyon offers a poignant anchor for genealogical research, indicating a family history tied to the ranching economy of these high plains.
