2019 Map of Lasauses

About this map

Lasauses sits at the heart of a complex hydrological landscape where the Conejos River and the Rio Grande converge. This 2019 survey documents the intricate water management systems of the San Luis Valley, featuring the Conejos River Diversion and the wandering course of Trinchera Cr. The terrain is defined by the sharp rise of Hansen Bluff to the north and the expansive San Luis Hills to the south, creating a natural corridor for the river systems. Local history is anchored by the Becker Cem, while more modern recreational development is visible via the Bluff Nature Trail. The map also illustrates the convergence of three Colorado counties—Alamosa, Costilla, and Conejos—tracing their boundaries through the wetlands and riverbeds that characterize this high-altitude valley floor.
