2013 Map of Nelson Canyon East

About this map

Old Pruit Ranch sits at the heart of this high-desert landscape in Lincoln County, highlighting the region's enduring ranching heritage. This 2013 survey reveals an area defined by deep drainage systems and traditional land use, including the operations of the Lincoln County Livestock Company to the south. The terrain is characterized by a series of significant carved features such as Nelson Canyon, Pruit Canyon, and the appropriately named Big Draw. Water sources are sparse but critical, marked by the presence of Bluewater Spring in the northern reaches. The map captures a moment in the modern era where limited infrastructure like CO Road E034 provides the primary access through a network of canyons including Tecolote Canyon and Coyote Canyon.
