2010 Map of Tyrone

About this map

Simpson Cemetery and the small settlement of Simpson sit at the northern edge of this high plains landscape, documenting a quiet ranching and transport corridor in Las Animas County. The terrain is characterized by broad, low-relief expanses including Tyrone Flats and Adobe Flats, where the local water management system is visible through a series of engineered structures. Strategic water catchment is evident along the Van Bremer Arroyo, which feeds into the Van Bremer Reservoir Number 1 via the Van Bremer Number 1 Dam. Further east, the Brown Number 1 Dam retains Browns Lake, illustrating the essential role of surface water storage for the community of Tyrone and surrounding agricultural lands. The map shows a sparse network of roads and rails connecting these scattered points across the southern Colorado territory.
