1971 Map of Lambing Spring

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Lambing Spring and the distinctive geological formation known as The Hogback define this high-plains landscape in southern Colorado. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain is shaped by intermittent watercourses like Luning Arroyo and Bremer Arroyo, which cut through the arid ranching country of Las Animas County. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the drainage suggests a focus on water resource management in this dry environment. Human activity is largely industrial and utilitarian, marked by scattered Gravel Pits and several water storage Tanks. The map reveals a sparsely settled region where survival and industry are dictated by the underlying topography and the rare reliable water sources like the primary spring and various unnamed Spring seeps located throughout the township divisions.
