The Purgatoire River winds through the Picketwire Valley, anchoring a landscape of deep-cut drainage systems and high-altitude terrain in Las Animas County. The settlements of Segundo and Valdez sit along the northern corridor, reflecting the region's long history of ranching and resource extraction. Family and community histories are preserved at the San Juan Cem and Tijeras Cem, while the surrounding geography is defined by a dense network of canyons, including the uniquely named Widow Woman Canyon, Sowbelly Canyon, and Penitente Canyon.
