Cotton Creek – March 2006 – Colorado Central Magazine

Dear Ed,

I love those out-of-the-way places such as the Mirage Cemetery in the San Luis Valley. John Mattingly brings interesting information about this little-known place in the February 2006 issue of Colorado Central Magazine.

 The Mirage Schoolhouse located south of the Mirage Cemetery on the west side of County Road 62 in the San Luis Valley near its intersection with County Road AA.

 The Cotton Creek Cemetery is the lonely remnant of the town of Cotton Creek. The cemetery is located on the east side of County Road 64 just north of County Road CC.
