1984 Map of Archuleta Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide defines the western edge of this 1980s landscape, marking the high-altitude boundary between Archuleta Co and Conejos Co. The terrain is characterized by a complex network of high-country water sources, including the headwaters of the Rio Chama and its tributary, Archuleta Creek. Numerous alpine basins hold remote bodies of water like Chama Lake, Mystery Lake, and the Glacier Lakes cluster. The map also delineates the Grant Boundary, reflecting the historic land divisions of the Tierra Amarilla region. These mountain valleys are largely protected within the South San Juan Wilderness and the Rio Grande National Forest. Movement through this high-elevation wilderness is dictated by a system of established Pack Trails, connecting isolated points like the Campground along the river and the northern La Manga area.
