About this map

The Robb Cem stands as a solitary historical marker within the expansive landscape of southeastern Colorado, where the high plains meet the intricate canyon systems of Comanche National Grassland. The terrain is defined by the prominent Table Mesa, which rises above a network of seasonal watercourses and deeply cut topographic features. These include the steep descents of Soldier Canyon and Cat Canyon, reflecting a landscape carved by the intermittent flow of Burro Arroyo and Freezeout Cr.

Reliable water sources are critical features in this arid environment, marked by several named points such as Watt Spring, O'Hair Spring, and Soldier Spring. The map documents a sparse network of rural routes, including Co RD 62.0 and Co RD 223, which trace the boundaries between Las Animas and Baca Counties. This survey provides a clear view of the ranching and public land management patterns established in this part of the state by the early 21st century.
