2023 Map of Trinchera Pass

USGS Topo · Published 2023

About this map

The high tablelands of Colfax County meet the Colorado state line at Trinchera Pass, a landscape defined by significant elevation changes and seasonal watercourses. The local terrain is dominated by prominent landforms such as Kelleher Mesa and Chavez Mesa, which overlook complex drainage systems including Salazar Arroyo and the headwaters of the Dry Cimarron River. This 2023 survey illustrates a sparsely populated ranching and agricultural region where human presence is marked primarily by scattered family landmarks and historical points of interest. Notable among these is the Pacheco Cem, located near Doherty Rd, serving as a vital touchstone for genealogical research in this borderland area. The map also detailes the convergence of various arroyos and creeks, such as Wild Horse Arroyo and Fisher Creek, which carve through the mesas to form deep features like Creighton Canyon.
