1971 Map of Walker Canyon

About this map

Rule Creek and Walker Creek carve through this landscape at the boundary of Las Animas and Baca counties, where high plains topography meets the canyon systems of southeastern Colorado. The map reveals a sparse but established ranching and rural infrastructure during the early 1970s, evidenced by the presence of isolated institutions like the Cedar View School and Cedar Edge School. Natural landmarks and water sources dominate the terrain, from Hackberry Springs in the north to the junction of Two Butte Creek and the McAfee Godwin Vega in the south.
