1967 Map of Centro

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Centro serves as the focal point for this landscape in southern Colorado, where the high desert meets the foothills of the Rio Grande National Forest. The 1967 survey reveals a complex network of agricultural irrigation, with the Main Terrace Canal and Alamosa Creek Canal drawing from the Alamosa River to support local ranching. Family and local history is anchored by the De la Luz Cem and settlements along Gunbarrel Road. To the west, the terrain rises toward Chiquito Peak, while numerous small reservoirs like Pine Squirrel Res, Chipmunk Res, and Wren Res dot the drainages. Deep canyons including Trujillo Canyon and Ra Jadero Canyon cut through the southern portion of the quadrangle, illustrating the transition from the valley floor to the higher reaches of the forest.
