About this map

The Historic Santa Fe National Trail cuts a diagonal path across this high plains landscape, illustrating the enduring legacy of 19th-century western migration routes through Las Animas County. In the southern portion of the map, the Fort Carson Military Reservation (Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site) encompasses a significant expanse of terrain including the Big Arroyo Hills and the winding Big Arroyo. The settlement of Thatcher serves as a local focal point near the Timpas Creek drainage, while the nearby Old Railroad Grade and Houghton reflect the area's historical transportation infrastructure. Notable landmarks like Tater Hill and the Bear Springs Hills define the topography, which is further marked by ranching features such as the Double Tank Windmill and various water tanks essential for life in this arid region.
