2019 Map of Sheds Camp

About this map

Sheds Camp sits at the heart of an intricate water-management network in Saguache County, where the high desert landscape meets the eastern edges of the San Luis Valley. This topographic survey reveals a complex system of human-made water diversions, including the Wales Travis Ditch, Frazee Ditch, and the branching arms of the N Crestone Ditch and S Crestone Ditch. These features reflect a legacy of agricultural engineering designed to harness runoff from the nearby mountain ranges. Natural drainage is equally prominent, with San Luis Cr and Saguache Cr cutting through the terrain. To the south, Weisman Lake provides a localized catchment point. The landscape is further defined by its pastoral infrastructure, where numbered county roads like Co RD T and Co RD 667 connect the various water-rights boundaries and seasonal drainage paths such as Deadman Cr and Cottonwood Cr.
