1968 Map of La Garita

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

La Garita serves as the primary focal point of this high-altitude landscape, where the irrigation architecture of the San Luis Valley is on clear display. A complex network of water management features, including the Rio Grande Canal, Main Canal, and Farmers Union Canal, illustrates the region's reliance on diverted water for agriculture. These man-made channels intersect the natural drainages of Carnero Creek and La Garita Creek as they flow eastward from the rising terrain toward the valley floor.
