About this map

Lambing Spring serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape of Las Animas County, where the terrain is defined by dramatic geological features and seasonal watercourses. The northern portion of the map is dominated by the striking ridgeline of The Hogback, while the drainage patterns of Luning Arroyo and Van Bremer Arroyo carve through the open range.

Evidence of historical settlement is found at Mestas Cem in the southeast corner, providing a vital point of reference for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in this corner of Colorado. The infrastructure is sparse, consisting primarily of county routes like Co Rd 48 and Co Rd 54 that traverse the township boundaries of t31s r60w and t32s r59w, illustrating the enduring ranching character of the region.
