1978 Map of Andrix

About this map

Andrix serves as the primary focal point of this 1970s survey, situated along a prominent east-west thoroughfare in the high plains of Las Animas County. The settlement is anchored by a local Cem and sits at a crossroad of historic transit and ranching activity. The landscape is defined by the ephemeral drainages of Mustang Creek and O U Creek, which cut through the terrain and are fed by scattered Spring and Springs locations. Traces of the frontier era persist through the marked Granada Santa Fe Trail crossing the northern portion of the quadrangle, while modern utility is represented by several Well sites and a network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail. This map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure and land divisions that shaped this part of Colorado long after the initial homesteading era.
