About this map

Sun Valley Ranch sits at the heart of this high-plains landscape, where the Apishapa River carves deep, winding drainage systems through Las Animas County. The map documents a complex network of canyons and points, including Apishapa Canyon, Hixson Canyon, and Almagre Canyon, which define the local topography. This area is characterized by its dramatic relief and water management, evidenced by features such as E Reservoir and the Iron Spring.

Remote ranching infrastructure is visible via Co RD 94.0 and Pinon Canyon RD, providing a record of 21st-century rural access in southeastern Colorado. Named topographical features like Juan Baca Canyon and Poitrey Arroyo Hills suggest the heritage of the families who settled this arid terrain. The detailed contouring illustrates the transition from high points like Berry Point down into seasonal drainages such as Wild Horse Arroyo and Lambing Canyon.
