About this map

Alamosa Cem and Vigil Cem provide significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family ties in this high-plains landscape. The area is defined by its water sources, where the course of Montesito Cr and numerous springs like Alamosa Spring and Vigil Spring once dictated the placement of small ranching outposts. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations in the Gravel Hills and deep cuts like Romero Draw.

Remote roads such as Co RD C and Trigg RD cross the boundary between Harding and Quay counties. Smaller features like Bootlegger Spring, Tobias Spring, and the Shipping Pasture Spring suggest the practical necessities of life in a region where reliable water was the most valuable resource. The map preserves these local place names and land divisions, including t14n r32e, within their traditional surveyed sections.
