2016 Map of Utleyville

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates this landscape on the border of Las Animas and Baca Counties, revealing a region defined by arid drainages and vast federal land management. The settlement of Utleyville sits in the southeastern quadrant, a primary point of reference in a territory carved by seasonal watercourses like the N Fork Sand Arroyo and S Fork Sand Arroyo. The map documents a complex network of county roads, including Co RD 223 and Co RD 52, which navigate around topographic landmarks such as Cat Canyon and Soldier Canyon. This 2016 survey illustrates the modern configuration of the grassland's fragmented boundaries, showing how private and public holdings are interspersed across the high plains of southeastern Colorado.
