1922 Map of Conejos

About this map

The Alamosa River and Conejos River valleys dominate this 1920 survey of southern Colorado, revealing a landscape where high-altitude ranching and agriculture meet the San Luis Valley. Settlement is concentrated in the east along the Denver and Rio Grande River railroad line, serving communities such as Antonito, Guadalupe, and Mogote. The map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the era, from the concentration of educational and religious life at Bowen School and Bowen Church to remote mountain outposts like the Toltec Section House and River Springs Ranger Sta.
