1972 Map of Packers Gap

About this map

Packers Gap and the Shale Hills define the high terrain of this Colorado ranching landscape during the early 1970s. Situated along the boundary of Otero and Las Animas counties, the area is characterized by a complex drainage system including the East Branch Crooked Arroyo and the South Fork Jack Canyon. Human presence is sparse and utilitarian, centered around the Rourke settlement and the nearby Rourke Landing Strip, which speak to the vast distances of the region.
