2013 Map of Aguilar

About this map

Aguilar sits at the base of a complex canyon system where the Apishapa River and Borrego Ditch provide vital water to this semi-arid landscape. The town is flanked by a series of high flats and named canyons, including Rugby Canyon and Brodhead Canyon, illustrating the varied topography of Las Animas County. To the north and south, small settlements like Rouse and Lynn follow the primary transportation corridor, while the Saint Anthony Cem east of town serves as a significant landmark for local genealogy. The map captures an environment where water management is paramount, evidenced by Poma Reservoir and the Homestead Windmill. Geologic and agricultural features such as Rugby Rock and Goat Ranch Flat further define the land use patterns that have sustained these communities into the early 21st century.
