1953 Map of Las Animas
USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Las Animas serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at the strategic junction of the Arkansas River and the Purgatoire River. The settlement pattern reflects the area's frontier history and agricultural reliance, notably marked by the Boggsville (Historic) site south of the main township. Transportation and irrigation infrastructure dominate the landscape, with the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad paralleling the river, while an intricate network of the Consolidated Ditch and other water works support the surrounding valley farms.
