2019 Map of Stage Canyon

About this map

Stage Canyon and the surrounding high country of Las Animas County dominate this 2019 landscape, where deep drainages and isolated springs define the topography. The arid terrain is etched by complex watercourse systems, including Lockwood Arroyo and its eponymous Lockwood Canyon in the southwest. High points like Cedar Hill and the Black Hills overlook a network of seasonal washes and steep-walled breaks such as Sugarloaf Canyon and Welsh Canyon. Connectivity across this sparsely populated region is maintained by the north-south transit of Red Rock Rd. A vital point of interest for local history and wildlife, Sugarloaf Spring appears in the northeast, tucked near the Black Hills, providing a rare water source in a landscape otherwise defined by dry beds like Red Rock Canyon.
