2010 Map of Weston

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves through the heart of the Picketwire Valley in this Las Animas County landscape, where small agricultural settlements like Weston and Cordova Plaza line the riverbanks. This era shows a community rooted in the high desert terrain, with the historic Weston Cemetery and Pacheca Cemetery providing vital records for genealogical research. The local economy is represented by the Maxwell Mine and a series of water management features including the Ojo Verde Reservoir and McDonald Reservoir, which support life in the shadow of the Ute Hills. Numerous branching drainages such as Sarcillo Canyon and Upper Burro Canyon define the complex topography north of the river, where isolated labels like Horn Spring hint at the locations of early water sources and seasonal camps in the western reaches of the county.
