2013 Map of Red Wing

About this map

The Huerfano River flows across this high-altitude landscape, defining the northern valley where the small settlements of Red Wing and Chama are established. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural mountain economy sustained by water management features such as Montez Ditch and the McIntire Reservoir, essential for ranching and agriculture in Huerfano County. To the south, the terrain rises dramatically into the San Isabel National Forest, where peaks like Slide Mountain and Iron Mountain dominate the horizon alongside deep cuts like Bruenellie Canyon and Deep Canyon. Genealogists will find local history preserved at the Chama Cem and Gonzales Cem, while the inclusion of the Cascade Trail 1303 and various county roads indicates the modern recreational use of this rugged territory near the Costilla County line.
