About this map

Villa Grove sits as the primary settlement on this high-altitude landscape, where the San Luis Valley meets the northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The geography is defined by the continental divide transition between the Rio Grande National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. Local history is visible in the remnant Old Railroad Grade and the Villa Grove Cem, while the rugged eastern terrain is marked by high summits like Bushnell Peak and Mount Otto. Dozens of mining prospects are scattered across the drainage basins of Ferguson Creek and Miller Creek, signaling the area's prospecting legacy. The map also details early water infrastructure, including an Aqueduct crossing the valley floor and several springs that feed into the San Luis Creek system.
