About this map

Plum Cr and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this portion of Las Animas County. The landscape is characterized by deeply incised topography, with major corridors such as Deadman Canyon and Indian Trail Canyon branching off from the main creek bed. Named landmarks like Courthouse Rock and the high ground of Piñon Park provide navigational references in an area otherwise dominated by winding draws and pockets, including the distinctly named Seven D Pocket.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, with several perennial and seasonal points noted. Key locations like Glover Spring, JJ Water Spring, and Chapman Spring appear alongside cattle-management features like Seven D Tank. The road network is sparse, primarily consisting of county routes such as Co RD 177.9 and Co RD 179 that navigate the ridges between steep descents like Officer Canyon and Stinking Hole Canyon.
