2022 Map of Painted Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The Purgatoire River carves a winding path through this corner of Las Animas County, defining a landscape of deep-cut drainages and dramatic elevation changes. The waterway creates the significant Purgatoire Canyon and Painted Canyon systems, which dominate the central and eastern portions of the map. Unlike the more open plains to the north, this area is characterized by numerous tributary canyons, including Kiowa Canyon and Trementina Canyon, suggesting a complex geological history shaped by centuries of erosion.
