About this map

Tyrone Flats and the expansive Adobe Flats define the arid landscape of Las Animas County in this 2016 survey. The small settlement of Tyrone sits at a highway junction, serving as a focal point for the surrounding ranching and range land. Further north, the community of Simpson is marked by the presence of the Simpson Cem, a significant site for local genealogical research and historical study.

Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by several catchments and drainages. The Van Bremer Arroyo winds through the southern half of the quadrangle, feeding into the Van Bremer Reservoir Number 1 and Gyurman Reservoir. Nearby, Browns Lake and the Brown Number 1 Reservoir highlight the regional reliance on these man-made features for land use and livestock. To the northeast, the Pinon Canyon Airport suggests the area's role in modern logistical and military operations.
