2016 Map of Badito Cone

About this map

The Huerfano River flows across the southwestern corner of this landscape, where the Garcia Ditch highlights the historical importance of water management in this arid region. The terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as Badito Cone and Santana Butte, while deep drainages like Dry Creek Canyon and Santana Canyon cut through the high country. Portions of the San Isabel National Forest dominate the eastern half of the map, accessed by historic routes like the Santana Trail and Bartlett Trail. Genealogy researchers will find several localized burial sites, including the Gardner Catholic Cem near the river and the more remote Cisneros Cem and Maes Creek Cem. Scattered springs, such as Saint Jude Spring and Santana Spring, provide vital water points for the high-altitude trails and canyon systems.
