2019 Map of Deadman Camp

About this map

Deadman Camp sits at the heart of this high-altitude drainage basin, marking a landscape defined by complex water management and the northern border of Alamosa County. The hydrology here is a mix of natural wandering streams and human-engineered irrigation, with Deadman Cr and San Luis Cr coursing through the wetlands. The presence of the Gibson Ditch, N Central Lateral, and the Farmers Union Canal reveals the critical importance of water rights and agricultural infrastructure in the San Luis Valley. This survey captures a transition point near the Saguache Co line, where the flat valley floor meets the intricate network of county roads like Co RD G and Co RD E that divide the terrain into precise townships and sections for land management.
