1955 Map of Brazos Peak

About this map

The high-elevation grazing and ranching economy of Rio Arriba County is evident in this mid-century survey, which details a network of seasonal camps and cabins throughout the Carson National Forest. Remote outposts such as Stewart Cow Camp, Burn Cow Camp, and Huffaker Cabin are scattered across the terrain, connected by the Deep Trail. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic topography of Brazos Peak and the sheer Brazos Cliffs that overlook the complex drainage systems of the Rio Brazos and Chaves Creek.
