2010 Map of Vega Corral

About this map

Vega Corral and its surrounding landscape in Las Animas County are defined by a network of drainage and irrigation systems that speak to the agricultural history of this Colorado high plains region. The Apishapa River flows through the central portion of the map, joined by the Del Aqua Arroyo and several smaller tributaries. Evidence of water management is clear with the presence of the Windowfield Ditch, which cuts across the terrain to support local land use. For genealogists and local historians, the Valdez Cemetery serves as a significant landmark, marking a specific point of cultural heritage within this largely open landscape.
