About this map

The Conejos River and Rio San Antonio define this high-elevation landscape in southern Colorado, where a complex network of historic irrigation systems like the Guadalupe Ditch and Heads Mill Ditch have long supported local agriculture. The area is characterized by a string of traditional settlements including Guadalupe, Conejos, Antonito, and San Antonio, many of which maintain distinct identities and local landmarks such as the Conejos County Courthouse.

For those researching family ties to the San Luis Valley, the map is particularly useful for locating smaller communities and burial sites. Significant genealogy resources are documented, including the Mogote Presbyterian Cem near Mogote and the Ortiz Cem further south near the settlement of Ortiz. The terrain rises to the northwest at The Poso, while the valley floor is crisscrossed by numerous waterways like the Romeo Canal and Taos Valley Canal, reflecting the region's enduring reliance on managed water resources.
