2011 Map of Badito Cone

About this map

Badito Cone rises as a prominent landmark in this arid portion of Huerfano County, where the landscape is defined by deep canyons and intermittent watercourses. The drainage patterns of Custer Creek, Turkey Creek, and Maes Creek create a network of rugged relief, including Reveille Canyon and Gomez Canyon. Historical land use is evident in the presence of the Garcia Ditch and the Stumbling Stud Mine, indicating a local economy once tied to irrigation and mineral extraction. The map preserves the locations of family-named sites essential for genealogical research, such as the Cisneros Cemetery and Maes Creek Cemetery. To the south, the Huerfano River serves as the primary hydrological feature, drawing together various arroyos and canyons like Arroyo Hondo and South Red Canyon into its broader valley.
