2010 Map of Deadman Camp SW

About this map

Agricultural water management and a rigid grid of rural roads define this high-altitude landscape in Colorado. The terrain is structured by a sophisticated irrigation network, with the prominent Farmers Union Canal and Gibson Ditch serving as primary arteries for the region's ranching and farming operations. Smaller distribution channels like the North Lateral and Lateral Fortyseven create a geometric pattern of water transport that dictates land use across the quadrangle. The map reflects a modern period of organized land parcels, where transportation is almost exclusively limited to a numbered grid of county routes, such as County Road G and County Rd-57, which provide access to the dispersed homesteads and fields. This map offers a clear look at the intersection of water rights and rural development in Saguache County.
