2019 Map of Lockwood Arroyo

About this map

Lockwood Arroyo cuts a primary drainage path across this high plains landscape of Las Animas County, where a network of seasonal watercourses defines the local topography. The map illustrates a series of distinct drainage systems, including W Bear Springs Arroyo, Middle Bear Springs Arroyo, and E Bear-Springs Arroyo, which flow from the elevated Bear Springs Hills. This 2019 survey documents a sparsely populated ranching region, marked largely by its natural landforms and a limited road network consisting of Red Rock Rd and Co Rd 78.9. Further south, the Big Arroyo Hills rise above the drainage of Taylor Arroyo, showing the classic basin-and-range style erosion patterns typical of southern Colorado's arid geography before the landscape transitions toward the New Mexico border.
