2019 Map of Villa Grove

About this map

Villa Grove sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape where the valley floor meets the rising terrain of the northern San Luis Valley. This 2019 survey highlights a complex water management system essential to the region's agricultural history, featuring the Schultze-Pettisick Ditch and the San Luis Valley Canal Ditch. These man-made waterways divert flows from San Luis Cr and Kerber Cr to sustain the arid plains below the peaks. To the south, the settlement of Mineral Hot Springs marks a localized geothermal feature near the intersection of several county roads. The western portion of the map is defined by prominent topographical landmarks like Clayton Cone and the deep incisions of Noland Gulch and Big Hollow Gulch. The road network, including Red Cloud Ave and Clayton Rd, connects these scattered homesteads and natural resources across a landscape shaped by both water rights and volcanic geology.
