About this map

Hooper and Mosca anchor this high-altitude landscape in the San Luis Valley, where the 2013 landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management. The agricultural engineering of the region is highly visible, from the San Luis Valley Irrigation Drain to several feeder systems like the Hooper Lateral and Prairie Ditch. These man-made watercourses support the farming and ranching life that has long characterized Alamosa County.

Natural water features are equally prominent, notably San Luis Creek, which meanders toward the eastern edge of the survey near Bachelor Lake. This area also includes the preserved wetlands and open spaces of San Luis Lakes State Park. The map provides a detailed view of the local road grid, which follows section lines across the valley floor, connecting rural homesteads via named routes like Eightmile Ln and Fivemile Ln.
