2022 Map of Black Hills

About this map

Strong, Delcarbon, and Tioga sit along the high drainage of the Huerfano River in this high-desert portion of Huerfano County. The landscape is defined by its water management and complex drainage systems, featuring various arroyos and man-made infrastructure like Pino Ditch and Martin Ditch Number 2. This network reflects the necessities of ranching and early industrial settlements in southern Colorado. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the Black Hills terrain, while the eastern edge is marked by the distinct passage at Bells Gap. Farther south, the settlement of Alamo is positioned near the Gordon Arroyo, providing a clear view of the area's transition from river valley to upland hills during the early twenty-first century.
