2013 Map of San Acacio

About this map

San Acacio and the older settlement of Viejo San Acacio sit at a significant cultural and geographic junction in the San Luis Valley. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, featuring the San Acacio Stock Ditch Number 1, San Acacio Stock Ditch Number 2, and the Eastdale Culebra Canal, which draw water from Culebra Cr to support local agriculture. The topography rises sharply to the northwest with the San Luis Hills, while the Sanchez Stabilizing Reservoir manages water flow to the south. For genealogists and local historians, the Old Town Cem near the original townsite provides a vital link to the early families of this high-desert region. The map reveals how the grid of county roads, such as Co RD-70 and Co-142, overlays a much older system of ditches and natural watercourses.
