About this map

The town of Ignacio serves as a focal point in this southern Colorado landscape, situated along the Los Pinos River within the Southern Ute reservation. The settlement pattern here is defined by a grid of streets including Browning Ave and Goddard Ave, surrounded by the vital irrigation infrastructure of the Morrison Consolidated Ditch and the Pine River Southwest Ditch. These waterways support the agricultural activity that thrives in the valleys between prominent landforms like Olson Ridge and Worford Ridge.

To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it rises toward the Mesa Mountains. This area is dissected by numerous drainages, including Pump Canyon, Alamo Canyon, and La Boca Canyon. Local history is anchored by the Ouray Memorial Cem at the northern edge of town and named landmarks such as Rattlesnake Hill. The geography transitions from the organized residential blocks of the town center to the expansive, rugged cattle country and parklands like Klusman Park and Jaques Park.
