2013 Map of Sanford Hills

About this map

Sanford Hills rises as a central topographic landmark in this high-plains landscape of Pueblo and Las Animas counties. The territory is defined by a critical network of water management and livestock infrastructure, including the Buffalo Arroyo Reservoir, Mobley Reservoir, and Rock Dam Reservoir. These water sources, along with reliable points like Cottonwood Spring and Lily Pond Spring, support the ranching operations that have shaped this region for generations. Scattered ranching outposts such as the Lou Nelson Ranch, Jacobs Ranch, and the historically named English Camp highlight the human imprint on the land. Navigational markers like the Fox Windmill and Carr Windmill stand against the terrain of Blue Ridge and Haystack Butte, while the Apishapa River cuts through the southern reaches of the quadrangle near the Cottonwood Canyon.
