About this map

Jones Lake Spring and several other groundwater sources define the arid landscape of this portion of Las Animas County. The terrain is marked by a series of deep drainages including Averson Canyon and South Canyon in the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by Tejana Arroyo and Jones Lake Canyon. These features illustrate the vital role of water in this high-altitude environment, where isolated springs like Sanchez Spring, Harte Spring, and Alum Spring serve as critical landmarks.

Evidence of human movement through this canyon country is seen in the rural road network, specifically Co RD 90, Co RD 91.1, and Co RD 91.9, which navigate the high-relief topography. Named landmarks such as Buckletton Canyon and Hickok Canyon suggest a history of local ranching or family associations. The map provides a clear look at the public land survey system divisions across several townships, including t27s r62w and t26s r61w.
