2013 Map of Walker Canyon

About this map

Rule Cr and its tributaries carve through the southeastern Colorado high plains, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainages on the border of Las Animas and Baca counties. This terrain is marked by distinctive formations such as The Windsplitter and The Chimneys, while life in this rural landscape centers on isolated landmarks like the Cedar View School and Cedar Edge School. The map reveals a network of county roads, including CO Road UU and CO Rd-72.0, which connect these remote educational outposts and ranching lands. Water is a vital but scarce feature, found at scattered points such as Hackberry Springs and Alum Spring. The vastness of the grazing land is further emphasized by labels for large open tracts like McAfee Godwin Vega, illustrating the late 20th and early 21st-century agricultural character of the region.
