2019 Map of Ludlow

About this map

The Ludlow Massacre Memorial Site stands as a solemn landmark on this Las Animas County landscape, marking a pivotal moment in American labor history just north of the Ludlow settlement. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and canyons, including Del Aqua Arroyo and the deeply carved Chicosa Canyon, which intersect the high plains. Historically significant routes such as Old Wagon Trail Rd and Berwind Rd trace the paths through the complex topography toward Tollerburg Flats. The map reveals the intricate relationship between the region's coal-mining past and its natural geography, with Berwind Canyon and Canyon del Agua cutting through the western ridges. These landforms provide context for the isolated settlements and historical industrial sites that once thrived in this corner of Colorado.
