About this map

The Stonewall, a dramatic vertical rock formation, dominates the landscape where the North Fork Purgatoire River and Middle Fork Purgatoire River navigate the terrain of western Las Animas County. This survey captures a region defined by high-elevation water management and recreational spaces, including Monument Park and multiple reservoirs such as North Lake, Monument Lake, and Russell Reservoir.

Local history is anchored at Stonewall Gap and the nearby Stonewall Cemetery, located off Cemetery Rd. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and high parks, from the steep walls of Hell Canyon and Romain Canyon to the open stretches of Wilkins Park and Duling Park. The inclusion of the Maxwell Ditch Number 19 and 20 highlights the historic importance of water rights and irrigation in this part of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
