About this map

Travesser Park serves as a central landmark in this high-plains landscape along the border of Colorado and New Mexico. The geography is defined by the drainage of the Dry Cimarron River and Travesser Cr, which have carved numerous canyons into the terrain, including Jones Canyon, Miller Canyon, and Gripe Canyon. The map reveals a land structured by massive mesas and prominent elevations such as Jesus Mesa, Baldy Hill, and Peacock Hill.

Transportation patterns in this remote region are dictated by the canyon floors and mesa edges, with established routes like Lake Rd and Hamilton Rd providing access through the complex topography. While few structures are named, the intricate network of canyons—such as Deer Trail Canyon and Cobert Canyon—implies a history of ranching and land use tailored to the natural seasonal water flow of the Cimarron watershed.
