About this map

Pruett Cem sits atop the high ground near the intersection of Co RD 7.5 and Co RD 6, overlooking a landscape defined by deep canyons and intermittent water sources. This portion of Las Animas County is characterized by a network of ranching infrastructure, where water is the primary concern. The map records several vital supply points including the East Canyon Windmill, East Parsons Windmill, and the Parsons Tanks near the center of the survey.

Drainage systems like Muddy Cr, Antelope Cr, and Johnny Cr carve through the terrain, creating named landmarks such as Baker Canyon, East Canyon, and the namesake Rock Canyon. The southern edge of the map shows the boundary between Bent County and Las Animas County along Co HWY A. Notable elevations such as Mothers Hill and the geographic pinch point at Muddy Gap provide orientation in this sparse, open rangeland.
