About this map

Loco Arroyo and Kappis Arroyo wind through this high-plains landscape of Colfax County, where the dry drainage networks define the local topography. This 2013 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching and grazing region, punctuated by isolated features like the Herrera Cem located near Eagle Tail Rd. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Cerriot Negro in the northern portion of the quadrangle.

A network of rural routes, including the Maxwell Cutoff Rd, Laughlin Peak Rd, and Chico Rd, provides the primary infrastructure through the township divisions of T26N, T27N, and T28N. The presence of the Red River Ditch near Tinaja Rd and Tinaja Cr in the northwest corner highlights early efforts to manage water in this arid environment, where intermittent streams like Spring Arroyo and Ladd Arroyo only flow during seasonal runoff.
