1968 Map of La Garita

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

La Garita and the surrounding high desert of Saguache County are defined by a complex irrigation network vital to the San Luis Valley's agricultural history. This 1968 survey illustrates a landscape of precision engineering where the Rio Grande Canal, Farmers Union Canal, and Main North Canal distribute water across an otherwise arid plain. Smaller waterways like Lateral 5 A branch off to serve individual farm plots, contrasting with the natural, winding paths of Carnero Creek and La Garita Creek.
