1972 Map of Painted Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a deep, winding path through this corner of Las Animas County, shaping a landscape of steep-walled canyons and ephemeral drainages. In the center of the map, Painted Canyon and its associated side-draws like Hunt Canyon and Kiowa Canyon demonstrate the intense erosional patterns typical of the Colorado high plains. The terrain is further defined by prominent landmarks such as The Hogback in the northwest, which rises above the expansive drainage basin of the Van Bremer Arroyo.
