1966 Map of La Junta SE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Anderson Arroyo snakes across this high-plains landscape in southeastern Colorado, defining the drainage patterns through Otero County in the mid-1960s. The terrain is characterized by the significant incision of David Canyon, which cuts through the southern portion of the sheet, revealing the rugged erosional geography typical of the region. A notable industrial feature is the Pipeline that traverses the area, signaling the utility infrastructure supporting this cattle-country environment. Small-scale water sources like Vogel Springs and a remote Well are critical landmarks in this arid territory, where water often dictated the placement of ranching outposts and livestock routes. The map records the precise township and range boundaries, such as the junction of T. 25 S. and T. 26 S., which remain essential for local land title research and historical genealogy.
