2016 Map of Farisita

About this map

Farisita and Badito serve as the primary settlement anchors in this section of Huerfano County, where the high-plains landscape is defined by the winding course of the Huerfano River. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential to the region's ranching and agricultural history, documented through features like the García Ditch and Martin Ditch Number 2. These systems draw from mountain-fed tributaries including Turkey Cr and Oak Cr, illustrating the human adaptation to the arid environment. For those researching local families, the inclusion of Farisita Cem and Sanches Cem provides specific points of interest for genealogical study. The southern reaches of the quadrangle transition into more complex drainage patterns, where Dog Springs Arroyo and several named water sources like Horse Spring and Willow Spring break the terrain, while the course of Yellowstone Cr flows through the western sections toward the main river valley.
