2019 Map of Walsenburg North

About this map

Walsenburg anchors the southern edge of this landscape, where the high plains meet the dramatic geological formations of the Huerfano River valley. The map documents a sophisticated water management network essential to this semi-arid region, featuring the Homestead Canal, Lake Merriam Ditch, and Holita Ditch, alongside several reservoirs such as David E Farr Reservoir. Of significant interest to genealogists and local historians are the Saint Marys North Cem and Huerfano Masonic Cem, which sit near the northern outskirts of the town. North of the city, the settlement of Pictou stands as a distinct community point. The terrain is defined by prominent natural features including The Hogback and the sharp rise of Walsen Crag, while the presence of the Spanish Peaks Airfield indicates the modern infrastructure serving this part of Huerfano County.
