About this map

Pagosa Springs and its surrounding mountain landscape are defined by an intricate network of water management and irrigation as documented in 2016. The town's eponymous Hot Springs sit near the San Juan River, while a series of modern developments wrap around significant water bodies such as Lake Pagosa, Village Lake, and the Borns Lake Reservoir. This map illustrates how the high-country terrain has been modified for both recreation and utility, showing the extensive systems of the Fourmile Ditch, Mesa Ditch, and Snowball Extension Ditch that draw water across the slopes.

North of the main settlement, the San Juan National Forest begins its ascent, marked by landmarks like Coyote Hill and Oakbrush Hill. The infrastructure for the region is anchored by Stevens Field and a web of roads like Piedra Road, providing access to local canyons including Martinez Canyon and Stinking Springs Canyon. Genealogists may find interest in the location of Hilltop Cem situated just north of the town center.
