2022 Map of Utleyville

About this map

Utleyville stands as a focal point in this remote corner of southeastern Colorado, where the high plains meet deep-cut drainages. The landscape is defined by the expansive Comanche National Grassland, which preserves a distinct prairie ecosystem across the Baca and Las Animas county line. This survey captures a terrain carved by intermittent water, featuring prominent geological formations like Cat Canyon, Soldier Canyon, and the appropriately named Lone Rock Draw. A network of seasonal waterways, including the N Fork Sand Arroyo and S Fork Sand Arroyo, dictates the local topography and historical movement through the region. The map also delineates the precise boundary between Las Animas and Baca counties, following a grid of section lines and rural routes such as Co RD 223 and Co RD CC.
