2022 Map of Deadman Camp

About this map

San Luis Cr winds through this section of Saguache County, defining a landscape shaped by water management in the San Luis Valley. The intricate network of irrigation, including the Farmers Union Canal, Gibson Ditch, and N Central Lateral, reveals the area's agricultural foundations and the complex engineering required to divert mountain runoff to the valley floor. To the north, Deadman Cr cuts across the terrain, contributing to the drainage system that supports this high-altitude basin. The map illustrates a structured grid of county roads, such as Co Rd G and Co Rd E, which provide access to the remote township sections. This 2022 survey captures the persistent reliance on historic water rights and canal systems that remain vital to the region's ranching and farming identity.
