1996 Map of Kim South

About this map

Kim serves as the primary hub in this high-plains landscape, where the town's small footprint is marked by Water Tanks and a Communication Tower. Much of the surrounding territory falls within the Comanche National Grassland, a region defined by its complex drainage systems and dramatic landforms. The topography transitions from the flat tablelands of the north into the dissected breaks of Tecolote Mesa, where deep incisions like Baldy Canyon carve through the earth. The area's water network is documented through numerous features such as Saltillo Creek, Tecolote Creek, and West Carrizo Creek, alongside scattered Well and Spring locations vital for cattle and land management. Evidence of early settlement and rural life appears at the Troy Cem and another Cem near town, while the network of 4wd tracks and the Couchman Draw road reveal how residents navigated this remote corner of Las Animas County.
