About this map

Dave Wright Hill rises above a complex drainage system in this high plains region of Las Animas County during the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the sharp incisions of Smith Canyon and Piñon Canyon, illustrating a dry-land topography where water management was critical to local life. Features like Lawson Reservoir and various unnamed Wells signify the importance of reliable water sources for cattle and ranching in the Round Prairie area.
