1971 Map of The Hogback

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Apishapa River cuts through this landscape of high plains and geological ridges in Las Animas County during the early 1970s. The prominent landform known as The Hogback dominates the eastern portion of the sheet, while an extensive irrigation network including Borrego Ditch and Saiz Ditch reflects the area's agricultural reliance on water management. This period shows a transition in transportation, as the active Colorado and Southern railroad line runs through the southwestern corner, contrasting with an Old Railroad Grade that traces a previous path across the northern reaches.
