2001 Map of Blanca Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

Sierra Blanca dominates this high-altitude survey of the Costilla and Alamosa county lines, centered on the towering summit of Blanca Peak. The landscape is defined by the intersection of the Sangre de Cristo Wilderness, Isabel National Forest, and Rio Grande National Forest. While the terrain is primarily vertical, reaching peaks like Ellingwood Point and Mount Lindsey, evidence of human activity appears in the margins at Arrowhead Ranch and the historical Ute Trail corridor. High mountain basins such as Blanca Basin and water features like the Winchell Lakes provide specific locations for hikers and geographers to study the alpine watershed. The map also records early industry through several marked mines and prospects scattered below the peaks, reflecting the region's mining heritage.
