1972 Map of O V Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Purgatoire River carves a deep, sinuous path through this Colorado landscape, defining the character of the southeastern terrain in Las Animas County. The river is flanked by dramatic breaks and canyons, including Bent Canyon and Iron Canyon, where the topography drops sharply from the surrounding tablelands. Cattle ranching and the pursuit of water are central to the story of this area, evidenced by the presence of Rourke Ranch and a network of named water sources like Cistern Windmill and Pamena Windmill.
