2016 Map of Rock Canyon

About this map

Pruett Cem sits at a crossroads in the northeastern section of this canyon landscape, serving as a rare focal point for local family history in a predominantly open range. The terrain is defined by a dense network of seasonal drainages including Muddy Cr, Antelope Cr, and Johnny Cr, which have carved deep features such as Baker Canyon and Richards Canyon. This high-plains environment is punctuated by Mothers Hill and the distinctive Muddy Gap, located near the border of Bent and Las Animas counties. Water management for cattle or local use is evident through the naming of England Spring and E Parsons Tanks. The map illustrates a sparse but essential road network, including Co RD J and Co RD 90, which connect the isolated canyons and draws of this ranching country.
