1982 Map of Kim

About this map

The Santa Fe Trail cuts across this high plains landscape at the intersection of Colorado, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. This early 1980s survey captures a vast ranching and canyon region dominated by the massive Mesa de Maya and the deep incision of the Purgatoire River in the northwest. Small, isolated ranching communities like Kim, Villegreen, and Utleyville serve as the primary human anchors in an area defined by its topographic extremes, from the flat reaches of Middle Mesa to the complex drainage systems of Chacuaco Creek and Carrizo Creek.
