USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad bisects this high-altitude San Luis Valley landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the settlements of La Jara and Estrella. The region is defined by a sophisticated irrigation network including the Empire Canal and San Luis Ditch, which redirect water from the Alamosa River and La Jara Creek to support local agriculture. This 1968 survey reveals a community infrastructure consisting of the County Hospital, Fish Hatchery, and several small settlements like Richfield and Sanford.
