2022 Map of Ludlow

About this map

The Ludlow Massacre Memorial Site marks a pivotal location in American labor history, situated near the settlement of Ludlow. This high-desert landscape in Las Animas County is defined by a complex network of arroyos and canyons that carve through the terrain, including Del Aqua Arroyo and the deep incisions of Canyon del Agua. The map reveals the historical transit and settlement patterns of the region, where routes like the Old Wagon Trail Rd and Tollerburg Rd navigate around the Tollerburg Flats. To the south and west, the topography becomes increasingly intricate with numerous named drainages such as Wildcat Canyon, Martin Canyon, and Number Seven Canyon, which transition into the more elevated Black Hills region. This survey captures a terrain where industrial history and natural drainage systems intersect, providing a clear view of the area's geographic character.
