1953 Map of Aspen Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Santa Fe River and Rio Nambe descend from the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The 1953 field check documents a wilderness character defined by early recreational and ranching outposts, including Rancho Viejo in the north and the Sierra Lodge near the Aspen Basin recreation area. This period shows a complex network of pack routes like the Windsor Trail and Borrego Trail connecting high alpine features such as Santa Fe Baldy and Katherine Lake.
