About this map

The high plains of Las Animas County take center stage in this 2022 survey, dominated by the vast expanse of the Comanche National Grassland. Near the western edge of the quadrangle, the small settlement of Kim sits at the intersection of local routes, serving as a remote outpost for the surrounding ranching and conservation lands. The landscape is defined by intermittent drainage systems including Two Butte Cr and Pintada Cr, which carve through the arid terrain.

Evidence of the region's historic transportation and settlement patterns remains visible through the alignment of the Granada-Ft. Union Military Trl, a vital nineteenth-century corridor for freight and troops. For genealogists and local historians, the Edenview Cem stands as a significant landmark of the early homesteading families who established themselves near the headwaters of Dugout Cr and Willow Spring.
