1967 Map of Manassa

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Manassa and its surrounding agricultural valley are defined by a complex network of irrigation works including the Manassa Ditch and Eastfield Ditch, reflecting the communal water management essential to this high desert region in the late 1960s. The landscape is marked by small settlements like Bountiful, Sanford, and Romeo, the latter positioned along the corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. Local heritage is anchored by sites like Jack Dempsey Park and the Rodeo Ground, while genealogy interest centers on the Old Manassa Cem, Sanford Cem, and Soward Cem. The southeastern terrain transitions into the San Luis Hills, where the Conejos River and Rio San Antonio converge near Dripping Rock, forming a natural boundary to the valley's intensive irrigation system.
