2022 Map of Huerfano Butte

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The Huerfano River defines the southern portion of this landscape, its waters diverted through an intricate network of irrigation infrastructure including the Orlando Ditch, Bradford Canal, and Homestead Canal. This agricultural and ranching district is punctuated by volcanic features, most notably the namesake Huerfano Butte rising near the riverbanks. To the north, the small settlement of Apache City sits along the interstate corridor, surrounded by ephemeral drainage systems like Pope Arroyo, Apache Cr, and Greasewood Arroyo. This map captures a modern view of a rural landscape where water management is critical to the local economy. Genealogists and local historians can find several named landmarks including Speed Cem and Butte Cem, while aviation history is represented by private strips such as the Mann Ranch Airport and Diamond Star Ranch Airport. The presence of Sears Spring and various numbered reservoirs reflects the ongoing importance of water resources in this arid Colorado terrain.
