1972 Map of Lockwood Arroyo

About this map

Bear Springs Hills and the Big Arroyo Hills define the high ground of this Las Animas County landscape, where an intricate network of seasonal drainages has carved the terrain. The map captures a moment in the early 1970s when the region was primarily utilized for ranching and utility transport. The convergence of East Bear Springs Arroyo, Middle Bear Springs Arroyo, and West Bear Springs Arroyo creates a complex system of canyons that eventually feed into the larger Lockwood Arroyo.
