2010 Map of Lascar

About this map

The small settlement of Lascar occupies a high point on the western edge of this Colorado landscape, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of Huerfano County. This 2010 survey highlights a terrain defined by its water sources, both natural and man-made, which have long dictated the patterns of ranching and movement in the region. The Huerfano River carves a path through the western section, while the eastern and northern reaches are dominated by seasonal drainage channels such as Mustang Arroyo, Pine Arroyo, and Rock Spring Arroyo. The presence of Rock Spring and named water points like Ballard Well and Shepard Well indicate the critical importance of reliable water access in this arid environment. The sparse road network and scattered landmarks suggest a quiet, rural continuity that has persisted since the early settlement era.
