2010 Map of Starkville

About this map

Starkville and the industrial remnants of the Southern Colorado coalfields define this landscape along the interstate corridor. The map highlights the significant mining history of the region, featuring the Starkville Mines near the northern boundary and the Morley Mine located to the south. This area is characterized by a complex network of deep drainages including Saruche Canyon, Frisco Canyon, and Coalbank Canyon that feed into the valley of Raton Creek. A notable cultural landmark is the Fraternide de Nuestro Padre Jesus Mi Senora Del Carmel, reflecting the local heritage. To the south, the settlement of Morley sits near the head of the valley, while the Starkville Cemetery remains as a quiet witness to the generations who worked these canyon-cut hills.
