About this map

Tejana Arroyo defines the drainage patterns of this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, where livestock ranching and water management are the primary human signatures. The map documents a network of critical water sources, including the Jack Williams Reservoir, Box Canyon Spring, and Tollers Spring. Scattered across the terrain are named landmarks such as The Frenchman Windmill, Newman and Bell Windmill, and Cottonwood Tree Windmill, which reflect the localized history of water access for remote grazing operations.

Prominent geographical features such as Little Dome and Cordova Mesa rise above the surrounding flats, providing natural orientation points. These geological formations are complemented by deep incisions in the land like Miners Canyon and Box Canyon. The presence of Smith Hollow Hills further illustrates the varied relief of this high-country quadrangle, which remains largely accessed by remote routes like Co RD-86.
