1978 Map of Robbers Roost Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Robbers Roost Canyon and its complex network of seasonal drainages define this Las Animas County landscape during the late 1970s. The map illustrates a remote ranching economy, centered on the Platt Ranch and nearby infrastructure like several Landing Strips. Public life in this sparsely populated region is anchored by the Cedar Hill School and a small Cem, showing the enduring footprint of rural education and community even in isolated terrain. The water system is characterized by numerous seasonal flows such as Dinner Branch and Two Butte Creek, which are supplemented by vital water sources like Grape Spring and other unnamed springs. Named features like Horse Canyon, Matthews Canyon, and Dugout Creek reveal a naming convention rooted in the topography and early land use of the High Plains transition.
