2010 Map of Walker Canyon

About this map

Walker Canyon and the surrounding high plains of Las Animas County are defined by a complex drainage system that feeds into Two Butte Creek and Rule Creek. This 2010 survey illustrates the rural infrastructure of the region, where a network of county roads connects isolated landmarks and historic education sites like Cedar View School and Cedar Edge School. The landscape is etched with deep drainages such as Burton Canyon and Shell Rock Canyon, punctuated by distinctive geological and natural markers including The Chimneys and a specific landmark noted as Fan Top Tree. The presence of Alum Spring and Hackberry Springs highlights the critical importance of water sources in this semi-arid environment, while dramatic landforms like The Windsplitter separate the various canyon systems that cross the quadrangle.
