2010 Map of Aguilar

About this map

The town of Aguilar serves as the focal point for this Las Animas County survey, where the Apishapa River flows through a landscape defined by intensive coal mining history. The map records an extensive network of extractive operations, from the Empire Mine and Blazing Rag Mine near the town center to more remote sites like the Las Animas Number Nine Mine and Broadhead Mine tucked into the canyons. Settlement patterns follow the terrain and industrial needs, with Rouse, Rugby, and Lynn positioned along the transportation corridors that historically supported these mining efforts.
