1893 Map of Mesa De Maya

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The high tablelands of Las Animas County appear in the early 1890s as a landscape of deep canyons and isolated outposts. Topographer A.C. Barclay charted this territory when the Denver Texas & Ft Worth RR cut through the southwestern corner, connecting the mesa country to broader markets. Early settlements like Troy, Indianapolis, and Watervale are shown positioned near vital water sources such as Trinchera Creek and Alkali Arroyo, illustrating the precarious nature of ranching and habitation in this semi-arid region.
