About this map

The confluence of the Rio Grande and the Conejos River dominates this high-altitude valley landscape in the southern San Luis Valley. Near the riverbanks, the small community of Lasauses serves as a focal point for the surrounding agricultural tracts. The intricate waterways of the Conejos River Diversion reflect the long-standing importance of irrigation in this arid environment, where water rights and drainage patterns define property and life.

To the north, Trinchera Creek winds through a network of rural routes including County Rd 100 and County Rd 104, while the San Luis Hills rise to the south, providing a stark topographical contrast to the valley floor. Genealogists and local historians will find the Becker Cemetery located in the northwest, a quiet marker of the families who settled this region. The map also records numerous local names and thoroughfares such as Stoner Rd and Avondale, documenting the rural infrastructure as it stood in the early twenty-first century.
