About this map

Walts Corner stands at the eastern edge of this Las Animas County landscape, where the high desert terrain of southern Colorado is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems. The primary watercourse, Trementina Cr, snakes through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by prominent landforms such as Piñon Ridge and Trementina Canyon. The map reveals a sparsely populated ranching and transit corridor, with Us-160 serving as the principal artery across the southern half of the sheet.

Evidence of the area's topographical complexity is seen in the numerous named canyons, including Trujillo Canyon, Gutierrez Canyon, Hunt Canyon, and Kiowa Canyon. These features indicate a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal water flow. Local transportation is facilitated by a grid of county roads, such as Co RD-127 and Co RD-32, which provide access to the remote canyon systems and high ridges.
