2019 Map of Lambing Spring

About this map

Lambing Spring serves as a vital water point in this arid stretch of Las Animas County, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Purgatoire Canyon to the southeast. The terrain features prominent geological formations such as The Hogback, which influences the drainage patterns of ephemeral waterways like Van Bremer Arroyo and Luning Arroyo. This 2019 survey documents a largely undeveloped region where human activity is primarily traced through a sparse network of rural routes, including Co Rd 54 and Co Rd 48. The land is divided into townships such as t31s r59w and t32s r60w, reflecting the long-standing Public Land Survey System. The map captures the interface between the high plains and the canyon lands, a region shaped more by hydrology and geology than by dense settlement.
