1972 Map of Santa Clara

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The rugged drainage systems of Santa Clara Creek and its north and south forks dominate this 1970s landscape on the boundary of Huerfano and Las Animas counties. This map captures a transition between the elevated terrain of the Sangre de Cristo foothills and the lower arroyos, marked by geologic features like the Small Dyke. Significant for local family historians, the sheet identifies the Thomas Roger Cem and the Ortiz Sch, reflecting the sparse but established rural infrastructure of this ranching and mining region. Water sources are meticulously documented, including named points like Upper Duhme Springs, Boiler Spring, and the Santa Clara Windmill. A network of thoroughfares such as Ideal Road and Rouse Road, alongside various jeep trails, provide a clear record of the area's twentieth-century accessibility for those tracing land use or ancestry in these southern Colorado canyons.
