About this map

The Santa Fe Trail (Cimarron Cutoff) traces a diagonal path across this high plains landscape, anchoring the historical significance of the region. The prominent landform of Point of Rocks Mesa rises sharply from the surrounding terrain, featuring notable landmarks like Hogback Butte and the deep incisions of Blackjack Canyon and Goldmine Canyon. This area served as a critical waypoint for travelers, evidenced by the presence of numerous water sources such as Chico Springs, Willow Springs, and Middle Water Springs.
