1970 Map of Sanford Hills

About this map

Sanford Hills and the rugged drainage of the Apishapa River characterize this landscape on the boundary of Pueblo and Las Animas Counties. The 1970 field check reveals a cattle-ranching economy reliant on scattered water sources, from the Lily Pond Spring to man-made developments like Rock Dam Reservoir and the Garr Windmill. Remote outposts such as English Camp and Jacobs Ranch underscore the isolation of the High Plains terrain during the late 20th century.
