About this map

The Barlow-Sanderson Wagon Road Trl cuts across this high plains landscape, marking a historic transportation corridor through the southeastern corner of the Comanche National Grassland. This 2022 survey captures the intersection of public land and military utility, as the southern portion of the map is occupied by the Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site.

Drainage systems define the local topography, with the W Br Crooked Arroyo and E Br Crooked Arroyo carving paths through the terrain. Notable geological features like Packers Gap and the Shale Hills provide distinct landmarks for navigators. The area's complex canyon network is represented by Minnie Canyon, Iron Canyon, and Bent Canyon, illustrating the erosional character of the Otero and Las Animas county borderlands.
