1967 Map of San Acacio
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Sangre De Cristo Grant lands define this high-altitude landscape in southern Colorado, where agricultural life depends on a complex network of irrigation features. Settlement centers on San Acacio (BM 7731) and Viejo San Acacio, reflecting the area's deep history as one of the state's earliest inhabited districts. Water management is the primary imprint on the terrain, visible through the Culebra Eastdale Canal, the Stabilization Reservoir, and multiple stock ditches like San Acacio Stock Ditch No 1. The presence of the Old Railroad Grade and a Landing Strip suggests the transition from early rail-based transport to more modern rural infrastructure. For genealogists, the Old Town Cem and various family-named sites provide critical points of interest in this San Luis Valley setting, characterized by the stark contrast between the San Luis Hills and the cultivated valley floor along Culebra Creek.
