2016 Map of Walker Canyon

About this map

Walker Canyon cuts through the high plains of the Las Animas and Baca county line, revealing a landscape defined by deep drainages and isolated water sources. This 2016 survey highlights a region where life centers around reliable springs and ephemeral creeks, such as Huckleberry Springs and Alum Spring. The topography is marked by distinctive formations with local names like The Windsplitter and The Chimneys, while the presence of McAfee Godwin Vega suggests the historical use of these grasslands for ranching. Navigated by a network of county roads including Co RD 2 and Co RD PP, the area retains its character as a remote ranching frontier. Drainage systems like Rule Cr and Two Butte Cr carve the terrain between named landforms such as Shell Rock Canyon and Aunt Jane Canyon.
