2017 Map of Loco Arroyo

About this map

Herrera Cem sits as a quiet focal point in this Colfax County landscape, marking a site of genealogical significance amidst the high plains terrain. The area is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Loco Arroyo, Kappis Arroyo, and Spring Arroyo, which suggest the historical importance of drainage and seasonal water access for regional ranching or agriculture. To the north, the prominent elevation of Cerriot Negro serves as a natural landmark overlooking the convergence of Tinaja Cr and the start of the Red River Ditch. This 2017 survey details a landscape where traditional land use, represented by these arroyos and ditches, meets a modern road network including Eagle Tail Rd and the Maxwell Cutoff, providing a clear view of how transit lines respect the natural topography and established land boundaries.
