1971 Map of Vega Corral

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Apishapa River cuts a prominent path through this Las Animas County landscape, where the high plains meet the distinct geological formation of The Little Hogback. In this 1971 record, the human footprint is defined by water management and ancestral markers, notably the Widowfield Ditch and the Valdez Cem located south of the river. The small settlement of Vega Corral sits near the northern banks of the Apishapa, surrounded by a network of drainage features like Salado Creek and Agua Del Arroyo. The presence of several Prospects and a Gravel Pit suggests localized resource extraction in a region largely dominated by open range and seasonal waterways.
