2022 Map of Walsenburg North

About this map

The northern edge of Walsenburg and the neighboring settlement of Pictou anchor this 2022 survey of Huerfano County. The landscape is defined by the striking geological rise of The Hogback and Walsen Crag, which dominate the southern terrain. This area demonstrates a complex water management system essential for the high plains, featuring the Cucharas River, the Huerfano River to the north, and various man-made developments like the Lake Merriam Ditch and Holita Ditch. Local history and genealogy are represented by the Saint Marys North Cem and Huerfano Masonic Cem, while transportation and aviation needs are met by the Spanish Peaks Airfield. The map reveals a mix of older rural routes like Co RD 640 and modern residential developments branching off Huajatolla Blvd and Culebra Blvd near the town center, reflecting the continued growth of this Southern Colorado community.
