2013 Map of Lasauses

About this map

The settlement of Lasauses occupies a significant bend in the Rio Grande, situated near the confluence where the Conejos River meets the larger waterway. This high-altitude valley landscape is defined by its complex irrigation and water management, visible in the Conejos River Diversion and a network of county roads like Stoner Rd and Avondale that follow the section lines of the surrounding ranch land. To the north, Hansen Bluff rises above the river plains, carrying the Bluff Nature Trail T301 along its edge, while the Becker Cem provides a point of genealogical interest for those researching early families in this part of Conejos County. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the volcanic topography of the San Luis Hills, which contrast sharply with the level riparian flats where Trinchera Cr winds toward the river.
