1955 Map of Brazos Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Toltec Gorge and the winding route of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad dominate the northern landscape of this mid-century survey. This high-altitude region, straddling the border between Colorado and New Mexico, reveals a landscape defined by seasonal pastoral life and public forest management. Numerous sites such as Brazos Cow Camp, Rivera Cow Camp, and Murphy Cow Camp reflect the area's grazing history within the Carson National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. The presence of the Lagunitas Guard Station and established structures like Huffaker Cabin signify the early administrative and settler footprint in these timbered highlands. Significant geographic markers including Brazos Peak and the dramatic Brazos Cliffs overlook the headwaters of the Brazos River and Rio San Antonio, while the Tierra Amarilla Grant Boundary indicates complex historical land tenure across the New Mexico high country.
