About this map

The high plains and rugged canyons of Southern Colorado meet at a complex tri-county junction in this modern U.S. Geological Survey study. The landscape is defined by the convergence of Pueblo, Huerfano, and Las Animas counties, centered near the settlement of Cedar Crest. Water management is the primary human imprint on this arid terrain, evidenced by a dense network of catchments including Mayer Reservoir, Baxter Reservoir, and Federal Reservoir.

Deeply incised drainages like Robins Canyon, Madden Canyon, and the winding Plum Cr carve through the topography, sustained by numerous named water sources such as Oscar Spring and El Hondo Spring. Local infrastructure is represented by rural routes like Co RD 91.1, which provides access to landmarks like Blue Hill and the Railroad Fill Reservoir. This document provides a clear view of the ranching and resource-management patterns in this remote intersection of the Colorado landscape.
