2019 Map of Jones Lake Spring

About this map

Jones Lake Spring and several other water sources anchor this arid landscape of the Colorado high plains in Las Animas County. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainages including Jones Lake Canyon and Hickok Canyon, which carve through the plateau. These natural features provided critical water and shelter for ranching operations in a region where surface water is scarce. Reliable sources like Sanchez Spring, Harte Spring, and Alum Spring are joined by the Tejana Arroyo, which winds through the southern townships. The sparse road network, featuring Co RD 90 and Co RD 91.9, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting remote ranch sites across the township and range grid system.
