1953 Map of Aspen Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Santa Fe National Forest and the towering heights of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate this high-altitude terrain, where early backcountry outposts such as Rancho Viejo and Aspen Ranch mark the human footprint in the wilderness. The landscape is defined by the sharp drainage of the Rio Nambe and the Santa Fe River, which originate among prominent summits like Santa Fe Baldy and Penitente Peak. Deeply etched glacial features are evident at Katherine Lake and Nambe Lake, reflecting the geologic forces that shaped this portion of the range.
