1968 Map of Capulin

About this map

The Alamosa River and La Jara Creek define the hydrology of this southern Colorado landscape, where an intricate system of hand-labeled irrigation works supports the high-altitude agriculture of the late 1960s. The settlement of Capulin serves as the local hub, flanked by the Capulin Cem and St Josephs Cem. To the north and east, the map reveals smaller community clusters at Morgan and Morganville, which are connected by the Morganville Ditch and Morgan Drain.
