La Boca Ranch is located 7 miles south of Ignacio, Colorado with its south border also being the border between the State of Colorado and the State of New Mexico. The ranch also lies within the boundary of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe’s Reservation whose headquarters are in Ignacio. La Boca is within the Pinyon/Juniper ecotone at 6400 feet in elevation and in the floodplains and confluences of the Pine River, Spring Creek and la Boca Canyon.   County Regulations and Easements La Boca is in an area that is not zoned by La Plata County. For full implementation, however, a commercial permit will be required from La Plata County. A temporary permit is available for partial implementation of activities. To obtain the commercial permit permission from the Colorado Department of Transportation is required for highway access and human waste disposal facilities must be inspected and permitted by the Colorado State Health Department. It is likely that public buildings will also need to have fire and safety inspections as well. Road easements through La Boca exist with the Southern Ute Indian Tribe and a number of natural gas production companies and the neighbors to the south. These easements, however, are only usable because of the illegal use of an old, dilapidated railroad bridge across the Pine River. There is also a natural gas well pad on the property, a phone line easement, an electrical line easement and a natural-gas pipeline easement through the property.
