1966 Map of La Junta SE

About this map

Vogel Springs provides a focal point in the southeast corner of this Colorado landscape, where the high plains begin to break into the drainage systems of Vogel Canyon and the wider David Canyon. This 1960s-era topography, which includes revisions through the mid-1980s, reveals a terrain defined by its watercourses and transit routes through Otero County. The presence of Anderson Arroyo cutting through the center of the sheet highlights the seasonal water flow patterns critical to the local geography. Human impact is primarily noted through infrastructure like the Pipeline and Rourke Road, which traverse the open range between these deep canyon cuts, illustrating the sparse but vital network connecting these remote high plains cattle-grazing lands.
