1967 Map of Blanca Peak

About this map

Sierra Blanca and the Sangre de Cristo range dominate this 1967 survey, providing a precise record of one of Colorado's most high-altitude landscapes. The map centers on the massive peaks of Blanca Peak, Little Bear Peak, and Ellingwood Point, documenting the technical terrain and drainage systems of the Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. While the majority of the map depicts high alpine basins and peaks like Mount Lindsey, evidence of human activity appears in the form of isolated mines and several prospects scattered near the Blanca Basin.
