Re: Stockyard in Tiffany CO

A few years ago I had a thread about assessor property maps here in the area, and pointed out this lot in Tiffany. A few other places along the former right of way are also documented in the same fashion as this, such as Allison and Falfa. See: [ngdiscussion.net]

Whether UP is actually paying taxes to La Plata County still for these is a different question. Some major sections of the right of way for the D&S on this map viewer I had access to listed it as still under the D&RGW's name with the UP tax address, but some pointed out that the databases these are being pulled from might be out of date, though everything surrounding them couldn't have been up to 30-50 years old. Other programs displaying property lines have them updated to say D&S. Other sections show property lines paralleling the right of way not documented as anything, or property lines ignoring it all together. All interesting details regarding the logistics of how Railroad right of ways work compared to how they end up getting documented.
