2022 Map of Walsenburg South

About this map

Walsenburg serves as the northern anchor of this landscape, where the urban grid gives way to the geological drama of southern Colorado. The most striking landform is The Hogback, a sharp ridge that defines the local topography and guides the Hogback Nature Trl. This area is heavily defined by its water management systems, featuring the Horseshoe Lake Reservoir, Martin Lake Reservoir, and the Walsenburg Reservoir. These bodies of water, along with the Lake Merriam Ditch, Gomez Ditch, and Hulita Ditch, illustrate the critical infrastructure required to divert the Cucharas River for local use.
