1971 Map of Delagua

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Delagua (Site) and Vallorso (Site) anchor this 1971 study of the Colorado canyonlands, where former mining centers and early settlements are recorded as archaeological footprints. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Mauricio Canyon and Williams Canyon, which drain into the Apishapa River. Genealogists will find critical details in the presence of family-named landmarks and resting places, such as the Albertson Cem and Trujillo Creek Cem near the small community of Trujillo. The map documents the remnants of the region's extractive economy, notably at the Bear Canyon Mine and numerous unnamed shafts scattered along the steep canyon walls. Industrial and agricultural land use is further indicated by scattered wells and features like Prairie Dog Flat, providing a detailed look at the rural Las Animas County interior before modernization altered these remote sites.
