2016 Map of Kim South

About this map

The high plains and rugged breaks of Las Animas County take shape in this 2016 survey, centered on the small settlement of Kim. This map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic shifts in elevation, from the flat reaches of the Comanche National Grassland in the north to the deeply incised drainage systems of the south. Waterways like Saltillo Creek and W Carrizo Creek carve paths through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of drainage in this semi-arid environment. Local landmarks such as Tecolote Mesa and the nearby Baldy Canyon provide clear topographic relief, while the Kim Cemetery offers a touchpoint for genealogists tracing families in this corner of the Colorado prairie. The network of county roads, including Co RD 34 and Co RD 197, shows how the grid of modern transport overlays the irregular contours of the natural draws and canyons.
