2013 Map of Kim South

About this map

The high plains of Las Animas County meet the rugged geography of the Comanche National Grassland in this 2013 survey. The settlement of Kim serves as the primary local hub, located near the intersection of several county roads and the major transit artery of US Hwy 160. Local history is grounded at the Kim Cem just northwest of town, while the surrounding landscape is defined by the dramatic relief of Tecolate Mesa and the drainage systems of Pintada Cr and Tecolate Cr. This map illustrates the intersection of public grazing lands and private ranching interests, where seasonal watercourses like Saltillo Cr and W Carrizo Cr carve through features like Baldy Canyon and Couchman Draw. The vast, open character of the southeastern Colorado territory is preserved here, showing the enduring spatial organization of the Public Land Survey System.
