1970 Map of Cucharas Reservoir

About this map

The Cucharas Reservoir dominates the northwestern corner of this 1970 landscape, where the Cucharas River is captured behind a spillway before winding through the arid terrain of Huerfano County. This survey provides a distinct look at the land use and topography prior to later regional developments, marking the boundary between Huerfano and Las Animas counties across the high ground of Cordova Mesa.
