1972 Map of Stage Canyon

About this map

Red Rock Road cuts through this landscape of deep drainages and isolated peaks in Las Animas County. The terrain is defined by the Black Hills and the prominent height of Sugarloaf, where a primitive Jeep Trail and Trail provide access to Sugarloaf Spring. The complex drainage system is mapped in detail, showing how Stage Canyon and Horse Canyon feed into the broader basin. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the winding path of Red Rock Canyon and Lockwood Arroyo reveal a land shaped by intermittent water flow, with several unnamed Springs marking the transition between the high cedar-covered hills and the canyon floors. A utility Pipeline traverses the western reaches, providing a rare modern linear marker across the otherwise irregular topographical features of Welsh Canyon and Cedar Hill.
