1967 Map of Blanca Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Sangre De Cristo range dominates this high-altitude topographic study, centered on the towering massif of Blanca Peak. The map illustrates the convergence of the Rio Grande National Forest and San Isabel National Forest, defined by high alpine basins and jagged peaks. Significant landmarks include the Iron Nipple, Mount Lindsey, and Little Bear Peak, which overlook the glacial cirques of Winchell Lakes and Crater Lake. To the south, the landscape transitions toward the San Luis Valley Grant BDY, where the high-mountain drainage of Cottonwood Creek and Ute Creek flows toward the lower elevations. Isolated mining activity is noted by several Prospects and a Mine near the headwaters of the Huerfano River, while the Arrowhead Ranch marks one of the few human settlements in the lower reaches of the quadrangle.
