2010 Map of Pine Canyon

About this map

Mesa de Maya and Hardesty Mesa define the high terrain of this portion of Las Animas County, where a network of seasonal watercourses and named canyons carve through the landscape. The map reveals a land shaped by cattle ranching and early settlement, with many features bearing the names of local families and figures, such as John Hart Spring, Pacheco Canyon, and Salazar Rincon. The presence of the Crespin Cemetery near County Rd 4 offers a specific point of interest for genealogists tracing Spanish-American heritage in the region. Transportation is primarily limited to rugged routes like County Rd 10 and County Rd 6.5, which navigate the complex drainage systems of Chacuaco Creek and Cow Canyon. This survey captures the spatial relationship between isolated settlements like Lone Oak and the vast natural landmarks of the high plains.
