1971 Map of Model

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Model sits as the primary settlement on this Las Animas County landscape, established along the At & Sf railroad corridor during a period when this stretch of Colorado served as a critical transit link. The terrain is defined by the intermittent drainages of Blackwell Arroyo and Luning Arroyo, which cut through the high plains toward the Purgatoire River at the southern edge of the survey. Near Fishers Crossing, the river bottom contrasts with the dry upland sections marked by industrial infrastructure like a large pipeline and several Gravel Pits. This 1971 record documents the area just after the peak of mid-century infrastructure expansion, showing how transportation routes like U.S. Route 350 followed the older tracks of the Santa Fe line to connect these isolated prairie outposts.
