2023 Map of Loco Arroyo

About this map

Herrera Cem sits alone in the southeastern reaches of this high-plains landscape, serving as a primary point of interest for genealogists and local historians. This corner of Colfax County is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and drainage channels, including Loco Arroyo, Kappis Arroyo, and Ladd Arroyo. These arroyos indicate the intermittent hydrology of the region, where water management is crucial as evidenced by the Red River Ditch. The terrain is punctuated by significant landmarks like Cerriot Negro in the north, while a sparse road system including Eagle Tail Rd and the Maxwell Cutoff provides the only formal access through the expansive range lands. The map illustrates the continuing importance of large-scale land divisions, showing the boundaries of several townships and ranges such as t27n r24e.
