The Purgatoire River valley and its complex irrigation network dominate this 2016 survey of the high plains east of Trinidad. A series of historic ditches, including the Johns Ditch, Chili Ditch, and S Side Ditch, illustrate a landscape long-defined by water rights and agricultural engineering. The settlement pattern shows the modern expansion of residential streets named for Old West figures like Bat Masterson Dr and Wyatt Earp St, contrasting with older rural clusters and historic burial sites such as Rivera Cem and Valdez Cem.
