1971 Map of Little Dome

About this map

Cordova Mesa dominates the southern portion of this landscape in Las Animas County, where the high ground drops into a network of steep drainages and canyons. The presence of named water sources and pastoral improvements like The Frenchman Windmill, Newman and Bell Windmill, and Cottonwood Tree Windmill reflects the region's reliance on managed water for ranching. Notable springs such as Box Canyon Spring and Tollers Spring serve as critical landmarks in an otherwise arid terrain.
