About this map

Trinidad anchors the southeastern corner of this map, showcasing its dense street grid and civil infrastructure including the Las Animas County Courthouse and Trinidad State Junior College. The city's northern residential and commercial development is bordered by the Purgatoire River and the Purgatoire Riverwalk Trail. To the west, the landscape shifts toward the modern engineering of the Trinidad Lake reservoir, which occupies the Picketwire Valley and is surrounded by numerous recreational paths like the Sopris Mine Trail and Levsa Nature Trail.

The historic settlement of Cokedale sits nestled within Reilly Canyon, while the community of Jansen serves as a transition point between the urban center and the reservoir. The map reveals a high density of burial sites reflecting the area's social history, including the Masonic Cemetery, Vigil Cemetery, and Carpio Longsdale Catholic Cemetery. Topographical landmarks like Simpsons Rest and Prospect Point overlook the valley, providing clear reference points for the local terrain.
