About this map

Weston and the surrounding riverfront communities along the Purgatoire River anchor this topographic study of Las Animas County. The map details a network of plazas and small settlements including Cordova Plaza, Medina Plaza, and Sarcillo, reflecting the traditional valley settlement patterns of southern Colorado. In the Picketwire Valley, local genealogy is grounded by the presence of Weston Cem and Pacheca Cem, located near the junction of the river and its southern fork.

Rising north from the valley, the terrain is defined by deep incisions like Sarcillo Canyon and Burro Canyon, with water resources managed through the Ojo Verde Reservoir and McDonald Reservoir. The landscape transitions into the Ute Hills to the southwest, while more modern recreational and access routes are visible via the Spanish Peaks Swa - Dochter Tract Trl and a dense network of local roads such as Big Pine Ridge Rd and Wet Canyon Rd.
