About this map

Speiser Cem sits near the northern edge of this agricultural landscape in the San Luis Valley, marking the history of local settlement in the high desert of Alamosa and Saguache counties. The grid-like organization of the land is defined by an extensive network of water management features, including the San Luis Valley Irrigation Drain and the Hiline Lateral. These engineered waterways are central to the region's ranching and farming identity, supporting the communities at Hooper and Mosca.

Detailed road labels such as Ninemile Ln and Eightmile Ln reveal a methodical division of the valley floor, while features like the Prairie Ditch and Streator Lateral trace the movement of water across the flat terrain. The presence of a Po and specific township markers like t40n r10e provide clear reference points for genealogists and local historians tracing land ownership and early 21st-century infrastructure.
