2019 Map of Indian Head

About this map

Hanna sits at the heart of this San Luis Valley landscape, positioned where the high-altitude agricultural plains transition into the timbered slopes of the Rio Grande National Forest. The 2019 data reveals a sophisticated network of water management, visible in the path of the Minor Ditch and the various springs like Sanderson Spring and Bouen Spring that feed the local watershed. This area is defined by the braided courses of the Rio Grande and its tributaries, including Old Woman Cr and Pinos Cr. To the north, the land rises into the English Valley, while prominent landmarks like Pronghorn Hill and the distinctive Indian Head formation anchor the eastern terrain. The map documents the persistent rural infrastructure of the region, from the arterial Route 160 to localized family-named features like Ben Jammie.
