About this map

Mooney Hills defines the high ground of this southern Colorado landscape, where drainage patterns reveal the complex hydrology of Las Animas County. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal watercourses, including Patton Arroyo, Frijole Cr, and El Paso Arroyo, which carve through the arid geography. A notable point of human history is found at the Vigil Cem, a small burial site that speaks to the generational roots of the families who settled this open range.

Agricultural infrastructure is visible in the north with the S Side Ditch, while the southern reaches are crisscrossed by local routes like Co RD 22 and Co RD 105.5. These roads follow the natural contours between Bill Cr and San Miguel Cr, providing a detailed look at the rural section lines and township boundaries of the region. The map captures a high-elevation environment where water management and isolated landmarks are the primary indicators of human presence.
