1963 Map of Ritter Arroyo

About this map

La Veta serves as the primary hub in this Huerfano County landscape, where the southern plains meet the rising terrain of Pinon Hill. The settlement is closely tied to the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which follows the winding course of the Cucharas River through the valley. This 1963 survey captures a rural network defined by water management and family history, featuring multiple irrigation structures like Ditch, Daigre Res, and Wahatoya Lake Reservoir that supported local agriculture. Genealogy researchers will find significant value in the preservation of several burial sites, including the Old La Veta Cem, La Veta Cem, and the more remote Chavez Cem to the north. The presence of the Ritter Sch and the La Veta Landing Field further illustrates the community's mid-century infrastructure and social geography.
