2010 Map of Stage Canyon

About this map

Red Rock Canyon and its namesake road dominate this southeastern Colorado landscape, revealing the deeply etched drainage patterns of Las Animas County. The topography is defined by a series of significant branching ravines, including Stage Canyon and Welsh Canyon, which carve through the high plains. The area remains largely undeveloped, centered on the Red Rock Rd corridor which provides the primary access through this high-elevation terrain. To the north and east, the Black Hills and Cedar Hill provide prominent landmarks above the canyon floors. This map documents a remote section of the Colorado borderlands where the geography is dictated by the seasonal flow of waterways like Lockwood Arroyo and the narrow passages of Horse Canyon and Sugarloaf Canyon.
