1971 Map of Weston
USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Purgatoire River carves through the landscape of southern Colorado, anchoring a corridor of historical settlement and transit. This early 1970s survey captures the established communities of Weston, Cordova Plaza, and Medina Plaza situated along the valley floor. The map records the infrastructure of the era, including the Purgatoire and Miranda RR Grade and a significant Aqueduct, illustrating how water and rail management defined life in this semi-arid region. To the north, the terrain transitions into the Spanish Peaks State Wildlife Area, marked by complex drainages like Sarcillo Canyon and Upper Burro Canyon. Local history is preserved through the locations of the Esquipula Ch, the Pacheco Cem, and schools such as Primero HS, providing a detailed view of the social fabric and ranching heritage of Las Animas County.
