2013 Map of Badito Cone

About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates the high ground of this Huerfano County landscape, where the terrain transitions from steep ridges to the fertile drainage of the Huerfano River. Family history is preserved at the Maes Creek Cem and Cisneros Cem, indicating early settlement patterns along the waterways that descend from Santana Butte and the distinctive Badito Cone. The irrigation legacy of the region is evidenced by the Garcia Ditch, which draws from the river to support local agriculture. A complex network of drainage systems, including Arroyo Hondo and Turkey Cr, defines the canyon-carved geography. High-elevation routes such as Santana Trail 1313 and the Bartlett Trail 1310 provide access to remote springs like Santana Spring and Saint Jude Spring tucked within deep canyons.
