2019 Map of Antonito

About this map

The Conejos County Courthouse stands at the center of a complex network of agricultural and community life in this southern Colorado landscape. Centered on the towns of Antonito and Conejos, the region is defined by an intricate system of hand-managed water rights, with numerous diversions including the Heads Mill Ditch, Guadalupe Ditch, and Manassa Ditch drawing from the Conejos River. These waterways supported the surrounding settlements of Guadalupe, Paisaje, and Mogote. For those tracing local history or family lineage, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, from the Warshaver Cem and Antonito Cem near the town sites to the Mogote Presbyterian Cem and Ortiz Cem further afield. To the south, the Rio San Antonio winds through the valley toward San Antonio and Ortiz, while the Taos Valley Canal highlights the scale of early irrigation efforts in this high-altitude basin.
