1972 Map of Santa Clara

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The boundary between Huerfano County and Las Animas County cuts through this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of Santa Clara Creek branch into several drainages. This 1972 survey captures a transition point in the local terrain, dominated by geological formations like the Small Dyke and the canyon-cut valley floors. Human presence is concentrated near the southern edge of the sheet around Mauricio, where the Ortiz Sch and several springs provided the necessary infrastructure for upland ranching and rural settlement. Genealogy researchers will find the Thomas Roger Cem located near Boiler Canyon, while the network of Jeep Trails and the historic Rouse Road illustrate the region's historical reliance on rugged transport routes for accessing remote watering holes like Arnold Spring and the Santa Clara Windmill.
