1972 Map of Pine Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Pine Canyon and its network of side drainages dominate this 1970s topographical record of the Colorado high plains. The landscape is defined by its water sources and deep incisions, where family-named landmarks like John Hart Spring and Wilson Spring suggest the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment. The map details a complex system of canyons including Schoolhouse Canyon, Pacheco Canyon, and the prominent Cow Canyon which snakes through the eastern half of the quadrangle. High points like Hardesty Mesa and The Corona provide orientation above the winding drainage systems, while the presence of a Jeep Trail indicates the limited, specialized access to these remote areas. Geologic and topographic features such as The Narrows and Salazar Rincon underscore the varied terrain that has historically shaped movement and land use in Las Animas County.
