2019 Map of Ninaview

About this map

Ruxton and Ninaview sit within a high plains landscape defined by deep draws and isolated rocky outcrops along the border of Bent and Las Animas Counties. The area is characterized by drainage systems like Rule Cr and Johnny Cr, which carve through the terrain to create distinctive landforms. Notable among these are Devils Rocking Chair and Eagle Cliff, features that likely served as long-standing local landmarks for early travelers and ranching families. The rural infrastructure is composed of a network of county roads, including Co RD 90 and Co RD 14, providing access to this sparsely populated region where State Hwy 101 enters from the northeast near Ruxton Draw. This survey illustrates the relationship between the arid geography and the limited road networks that connect these remote Colorado outposts.
