2010 Map of Villa Grove

About this map

Villa Grove sits at the northern edge of this high valley, where the San Luis Valley begins to narrow against the surrounding peaks. The landscape is defined by its complex water management, featuring extensive irrigation works like the Schultze Detrick Ditch and the San Luis Company Ditch that tap into San Luis Creek and Piney Creek. These systems support the ranching and agricultural operations visible through the network of county roads. Further south, Mineral Hot Springs indicates the geothermal activity of the region, situated near the intersection of several local routes. The terrain transitions from the alluvial plains into more varied topography at Clayton Cone and the drainage systems of Noland Gulch and Big Hollow Gulch to the west. This 2010 survey provides a clear look at the contemporary infrastructure of these historic Colorado settlements.
