2013 Map of Ignacio

About this map

Ignacio serves as the focal point for this landscape in the southern Ute region of Colorado, situated where the Los Pinos River meets a network of vital irrigation infrastructure. The map details the complex water management systems essential to the area, including the Morrison Consolidated Ditch and the Pine River Southwest Ditch. To the west, the terrain rises into the Mesa Mountains, marked by deep drainage systems like Alamo Canyon and Pump Canyon. The intersection of tribal routes and county roads, such as Indian Rte 151 and Co Rd 310, highlights the area's role as a transit corridor. Named landmarks like Rattlesnake Hill and Worford Ridge provide clear geographic anchors for family researchers and historians interested in the land-use patterns of La Plata County.
