2011 Map of Indian Head

About this map

The Rio Grande flows through the center of this landscape, anchoring a network of water rights and mountain drainages just south of the San Luis Valley. The settlement of Hanna sits at a central crossroads, surrounded by an extensive grid of local routes including County Rd 15 and County Rd 71. This region is defined by its transition from valley floor to the foothills, where features like English Valley and Pronghorn Hl rise above the river plain. Significant irrigation and water management are evident through the presence of the Minor Ditch, while the southern reaches of the quadrangle are marked by the convergent flows of Pinos Creek and the East Branch Pinos Creek. In the northeast, the eponymous Indian Head landform overlooks the winding path of Old Woman Creek.
