2019 Map of La Junta SW
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
The Santa Fe Nat Hist Trail cuts across the northwest corner of this Otero County landscape, marking a legacy of western transit through the shortgrass prairie. This 2019 survey reveals a sparsely settled region dominated by the Comanche National Grassland, where complex drainage systems like Crooked Arroyo, Benton Arroyo, and Timpas Cr carve through the high plains. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the Shale Hills rise near the W Br Crooked Arroyo, providing topographical contrast to the surrounding section lines and range boundaries. A network of county roads, including Co Rd 19 and Co Rd 21, follows the rectilinear Public Land Survey System, illustrating how modern administrative boundaries have been superimposed over the natural watercourses and historic wagon routes of the Colorado high desert.
