2016 Map of Lasauses

About this map

Lasauses sits near the confluence of several major waterways in the San Luis Valley, where the Rio Grande meets the Conejos River and Trinchera Cr. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape defined by water management and topography, from the Conejos River Diversion to the elevated terrain of Hansen Bluff and the San Luis Hills in the south. For those interested in local heritage, the Becker Cem is documented near the northern boundary, while the Bluff Nature Trail provides access to the overlook at the bluff's edge. The map also illustrates the complex county boundaries where Conejos, Alamosa, and Costilla counties intersect, a testament to the region's geopolitical history and the natural borders formed by the shifting river channels.
