2022 Map of Villegreen

About this map

Comanche National Grassland dominates the southern landscape of this Las Animas County quadrangle, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the canyonlands. The small settlement of Villegreen sits at a crossroads of section-line roads, notably Co RD 179 and Co RD 44, representing the sparse but enduring ranching culture of Southeast Colorado. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Poitrey Cr and Plum Cr cutting through the mesas. In the northwest, the distinctive Seven D Pocket and Poitrey Canyon reveal a landscape defined by erosion and remote grazing lands. The map illustrates a grid of county roads, such as Co RD 50 and Co RD 173, that stitch together distant parcels of public and private land within the vast prairie.
