2013 Map of Sheds Camp

About this map

Sheds Camp sits at the heart of this Saguache County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by an intricate network of water management and seasonal camps. This 2013 survey reveals a sophisticated system of irrigation, including the N Crestone Ditch, S Crestone Ditch, and Frazee Ditch, all designed to divert the flows of the Sangre de Cristo foothills. The presence of Willow Camp and Cottonwood Camp alongside the primary namesake site suggests a legacy of agricultural or ranching staging areas. Numerous waterways like San Luis Cr and Deadman Cr cross the plains, while the small basin of Weisman Lake provides a rare permanent water feature in the southern reaches. The road network, including CO Road T and Camino de la Plata, connects these scattered outposts within the larger Public Land Survey System boundaries of t043n r010e.
