Additional Details:
The city of Las Animas is situated at the junction of the Arkansas and Las Animas rivers and takes its name from the latter. This tributary of the Arkansas in its course flows through a long canyon, in which, according to legend, an entire company of Spanish soldiers perished in the early days of exploration. On this account the Spaniards called the stream Rio de las Animas Perdidas, the river of lost souls. There is an extensive system of canals in the vicinity of Las Animas
