2016 Map of Las Animas

About this map

The confluence of the Arkansas River and the Purgatoire River defines the landscape of this 2016 survey of Bent County. The settlement of Las Animas serves as the focal point, with its residential grid extending from Lois Ave to Moore Ave. The map captures an intricate irrigation infrastructure essential to the high plains, including the Fort Lyon Canal, Consolidated Ditch, and Las Animas Town Ditch. To the southeast, the historic site of Boggsville sits near the Las Animas Cem, while the Picketwire Valley follows the winding path of the Purgatoire. Significant local landmarks such as the City of Las Animas-Bent County Airport and the rail-oriented Las Animas Junction highlight the area's role as a regional transport hub. Further east, the terrain transitions toward the John Martin Reservoir near the small settlement of Keller.
