1971 Map of Trinidad East

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Industrial and spiritual landmarks define Trinidad in the early 1970s, where the city's western edge meets the canyons of the Purgatoire River. The landscape is etched with the history of the coal and rail industries, notably the Old Railroad Grade and the Engleville settlement, which sits near the Highline Mine and its namesake Engleville Canyon. On the slopes of Pio Hill, the Ave Maria Shrine and Mt San Rafael Hospital overlook the valley, while the historic Santa Fe Trail runs alongside the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad. Several family-named cemeteries, such as Mestas Cem and Valdez Cem, are scattered across the mesas near Beshoar and El Moro, marking the ancestral heritage of Las Animas County. Downstream, the Purgatoire River supports agricultural infrastructure including a Gaging Sta and multiple intakes near the Colorado and Southern Railroad.
