About this map

Pagosa Springs serves as a focal point in the southwestern corner of this Colorado landscape, where the San Juan River flows through the high country. The map documents an intricate network of irrigation and water management essential to the region, including the Highline Ditch, Mesa Ditch, and the Snowball Extension Ditch near the Pagosa Reservoir. To the north and east, the terrain rises sharply toward Jackson Mountain and Nipple Mtn, with much of the land falling within the San Juan National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Eoff Ranch Cem along Co Rd 200 and trace historical land use through the numerous named draws and gulches like Fawn Gulch and Willow Draw. The presence of several US Forest Service routes, such as Willow Draw Trail and Coal Creek Trail, illustrates the balance between natural resource management and recreational access in this part of Archuleta County.
