2016 Map of Hog Ranch Canyon

About this map

Huerfano River drainage patterns define this high-plains landscape in Pueblo County, where seasonal arroyos and canyons cut through the terrain. The presence of Finn Cem in the northeast and the Homestead Reservoir to the south suggests the long-term human footprint on this ranching land. Named landmarks like Sawtooth Peak and the nearby Haystack provide vertical orientation amidst a network of canyons including Hog Ranch Canyon and Horse Pasture Canyon. Water remains the central character of the map, documented through scattered points like Karrick Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Hog Springs, as well as the larger Gaalegos Reservoir, reflecting the essential infrastructure required for survival in this arid region.
