About this map

Pagosa Springs and the surrounding high-country landscape of San Juan National Forest define this terrain in southwestern Colorado. The map reveals a complex water management system essential to the region, featuring gravity-fed works like the Park Ditch, Mesa Ditch, and the Snowball Extension Ditch winding through the foothills. These irrigation lines represent the vital infrastructure supporting local ranching and settlement in a landscape dominated by the rising peaks of Jackson Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians can find specific family-named landmarks and rural sites, including the Eoff Ranch Cem and the Rito Blanco Ranch. The topography is marked by significant drainages such as Fawn Gulch and Dry Gulch, which feed into the San Juan River and its various forks. Notable recreational and forestry routes like Coal Creek Trl and Willow Draw Trl provide a look at the modern access points into the high meadows of Laughlin Park.
