1951 Map of Madrid
USGS Topo · Published 1953About this map
The Purgatoire River, also labeled as the Picketwire River, carves through the southern landscape of Las Animas County, serving as the primary drainage for a network of deeply incised canyons. In the early 1950s, the region's industrial character was defined by coal extraction, though many operations like the Boncarbo Mine and Primero Mine were already listed as inactive. These settlements, including Boncarbo, Madrid, and Primero, were built around the canyon floors, following the natural geography of Reilly and Burro canyons.
