2022 Map of Hadley

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor in Otero County defines this landscape, where the Bent's Old Fort National Historic Site preserves a critical 19th-century trading post location. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural infrastructure of the High Plains, dominated by the winding Fort Lyon Canal and secondary irrigation features like the Lewis Lateral. Small settlements and rural community hubs, including Castiel, Hadley, and Casa, are mapped alongside essential local markers for genealogists and historians. Notable religious and burial sites like the East Holbrook Mennonite Cem and Saint Paul's Lutheran Cem speak to the area's pioneer heritage. To the west, the La Junta Municipal Airport stands near the river, while the complex drainage systems of Vandiver Arroyo and Robinson Arroyo cut through the terrain toward the main river valley.
