2016 Map of Plum Canyon

About this map

Plum Cr and its many tributaries carve a network of steep-walled drainages across this portion of Las Animas County, creating a landscape defined by names like Deadman Canyon and Indian Trail Canyon. The terrain is marked by distinctive natural landmarks such as Courthouse Rock and the high ground of Piñon Park. Critical water sources in this arid environment are carefully mapped, including Glover Spring, Chapman Spring, and JJ Water Spring, as well as man-made features like the Seven D Tank. The map reveals a sparsely populated area where cattle ranching and land management are evident through labels like Seven D Pocket and School Section Canyon. County roads, including Co RD 177.9 and Co RD 171, provide the primary access through the intricate system of draws and canyons such as Yeiser Canyon and Rough Canyon.
