1996 Map of Pintada Creek

USGS Topo · Published 2000

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this portion of Las Animas County, showing a landscape defined by dramatic topographical shifts and drainage networks. The terrain is anchored by the prominent Tecolote Mesa in the southwest, while Carrizo Mountain rises to the southeast. Water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by the namesake Pintada Creek and Tecolote Creek, along with specific seasonal or permanent water points like Dripping Springs and various unnamed Springs. These watercourses likely dictated the historical movement of livestock and early settlement patterns across the plains. Human activity is noted through scattered Well sites and Gravel Pits, while a network of 4wd tracks provides the primary access through the canyons, including the steep-walled Baldy Canyon.
