2013 Map of Ludlow

About this map

Ludlow stands as the central settlement on this landscape, positioned where the high plains meet the intricate canyon systems of Las Animas County. The geography is defined by a dense network of drainages and named breaks, including Berwind Canyon and Canyon del Agua, which cut through the terrain toward the east. These canyons often carry the names of earlier industrial or agricultural activity, such as School Canyon and Number Seven Canyon, while the broad Tollerburg Flats provide a rare stretch of level ground in the southwestern quadrant. The hydrography is dominated by ephemeral waterways like Del Aqua Arroyo and Chicosa Arroyo, which illustrate the arid drainage patterns typical of this part of southern Colorado. This survey documents the modern road network, including Hoehne Rd and Timber Canyon Rd, which navigate the complex topography between the Black Hills and the deep canyon floors.
