1972 Map of Plum Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Morley and the surrounding rangelands of Las Animas County are defined here by an intricate network of drainages and isolated water sources. The landscape is carved by Plum Canyon and its many tributaries, including Deadman Canyon, Briggs Canyon, and School Section Canyon. This 1972 field-checked survey reveals the vital infrastructure of a high-desert environment, where family and ranch names are preserved through landmarks like Seven D Well, Plum Windmill, and Chapman Spring. Significant topographic features such as Courthouse Rock serve as natural markers above the winding Plum Creek. The presence of a single Grave and the site at Denton provide specific touchpoints for local historians and genealogists tracing the early occupation of this challenging terrain.
