About this map

The Pruett Cem stands as a quiet marker of early settlement in this corner of southeastern Colorado, where the high plains of Bent County meet the Las Animas County line. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems including Rock Canyon, Baker Canyon, and East Canyon, which carve through the terrain toward Muddy Cr. The presence of England Spring and the East Parsons Tanks highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid grazing country.

Remote county roads such as Co RD J and Co RD F provide the primary access through the townships, winding around prominent landmarks like Mothers Hill and passing through the Muddy Gap. This 2022 survey illustrates a sparsely populated region where the historical land divisions of the Public Land Survey System remain the primary framework for the landscape, even as modern navigation and satellite data refine the mapping of these traditional ranching lands.
