2016 Map of Trementina Canyon

About this map

Trementina Canyon and the surrounding high desert topography of Las Animas County define this region of southeastern Colorado. The landscape is characterized by a series of deep drainage systems, including Gutierrez Canyon, Hunt Canyon, and Kiowa Canyon, which feed into the central winding path of Trementina Cr. These canyons carve through the high ground of Piñon Ridge, revealing the complex relief of the mesa country. A network of rural routes, such as Co RD 133.0 and Co RD 131, provide the primary access through these breaks, following the natural contours of the land. The mapping of Trujillo Canyon and its neighbors highlights the remote, ranching-oriented character of the area, where water and passage are dictated by the rugged geology of the canyons.
