About this map

Kim stands at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, serving as a primary point of settlement within the expansive Comanche National Grassland. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic erosional features that break the tableland, most notably the prominent Tecolote Mesa and the deep incisions of Baldy Canyon. These landforms dictate the local drainage patterns, with seasonal waterways like Tecolate Cr and W Carrizo Cr carving through the grassland.

Genealogists and local historians will find the location of the Kim Cem north of the main settlement useful for tracing family ties in this part of Las Animas County. The map details a network of county roads, including Co RD 30 and Co RD 191.7, which provide access to the remote sections of the grassland and various draws like Couchman Draw. The interplay between the open government grazing lands and the isolated landmarks highlights the enduring ranching character of the region.
