1967 Map of Antonito
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Antonito serves as a vital rail and irrigation hub in the southern San Luis Valley during the late 1960s, defined by the confluence of the Conejos River and the Rio San Antonio. The landscape is a network of hand-carved waterways including the Mogote Ditch, Romero Ditch, and Guadalupe Ditch, which support several small Hispanic settlements like Guadalupe, Conejos, and Las Mesitas. The mapping reveals a distinct transportation economy, showing the Denver and Rio Grande Western tracks alongside the San Antonio Branch Narrow Gage Railroad. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of community-specific burial grounds, such as the Warshaver Cem, Antonito Cem, and Ortiz Cem, which reflect the family-centric settlement patterns of the high-altitude plains and the Cañon Antonito.
