2019 Map of Pintada Creek

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates the high plains landscape of Las Animas County in this 2019 survey, illustrating the vast open reaches of the Colorado backcountry. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Pintada Creek and Tecolate Creek, which carve through the plateau. Significant landforms like Tecolate Mesa and Mt Carrizo stand as prominent landmarks above the drainage networks. A sparse system of county roads, including Co RD 34 and Co RD 219, provides access to these isolated sections, where Dripping Springs and Baldy Canyon offer specific points of interest for those studying the physical geography or land use within these public grasslands.
