2016 Map of Table Mesa

About this map

Comanche National Grassland encompasses the southern portion of this high plains landscape, where the border of Las Animas and Baca counties runs north to south. The terrain is defined by a network of intermittent drainages and canyons, most notably Burro Arroyo and Freezeout Cr, which carve through the arid plateau. Historical land use is evidenced by the remote Robb Cem located near the intersection of Co RD 223 and Co RD Ee. Water sources, critical for ranching in this environment, are mapped as scattered points such as Watt Spring, O'Hair Spring, and Twin Springs. The eponymous Table Mesa stands as a prominent topographical feature in the northeastern quadrant, overlooking Soldier Canyon and the winding course of Soldier Cr.
