About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a deep, winding path through this high-plains landscape in Las Animas County, serving as the central geographic feature for the surrounding canyons and waterholes. This 1971 survey highlights the remote character of the region, where life is defined by ephemeral water sources and isolated landmarks like the Million Dollar Waterhole. Notable cultural sites include the Los Hermanos Penitentes Cem, a burial ground associated with the historic Catholic lay fraternity, indicating the deep-rooted Hispanic heritage of the area.
