2019 Map of Model

About this map

Model sits in the high plains of Las Animas County, defined by a sparse network of county roads and seasonal watercourses. The landscape is carved by significant drainage features such as Blackwell Arroyo and Luning Arroyo, which trend toward the Purgatoire River in the southwestern portion of the map. This 2019 survey illustrates the enduring grid of the Public Land Survey System, with township boundaries like t31s r61w and t32s r60w organizing the terrain. The road network, including Co Rd 101 and Co Rd 52, provides the primary infrastructure for this ranching and agricultural region, where the vastness of the topography is punctuated only by these named arroyos and the settlement at Model.
