2010 Map of La Veta

About this map

The town of La Veta anchors this 2010 survey of Huerfano County, situated where the Cucharas River meets the drainages of Middle Creek and Indian Creek. This region is defined by a deep history of resource extraction, evidenced by the high concentration of coal mining sites northwest of town. Small-scale industrial markers like the Lone Pine Mine, Reliance Mine, and the colorfully named City Slicker Mine are scattered across the landscape near South Abeyta Creek. Local infrastructure is further highlighted by the La Veta Landing Field and the Cuchara Valley at La Veta Airport, serving the community near Pinon Hill. For genealogists, the map identifies the Oak View Cemetery north of the Occidental settlement, while environmental researchers can trace water management through the Dyer Ditch and the Owens Reservoir Number 2.
