2013 Map of Antonito

About this map

Antonito and the surrounding high-altitude agricultural corridor are defined by a complex network of man-made waterways branching off the Conejos River and Rio San Antonio. This 2013 survey captures a landscape where water management is central to community life, illustrated by the dense web of channels like the Mogote Ditch, Guadalupe Ditch, and Heads Mill Ditch that feed the local fields. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, marking several family and community burial grounds including Conejos Cem, Warshaver Cem, and Antonio Cem. Traditional settlements such as Guadalupe, Conejos, and Mogote cluster along the riverbanks, maintaining a settlement pattern that persists even as modern infrastructure like Us 285 connects the region to the broader San Luis Valley.
