1955 Map of Brazos Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Tierra Amarilla Grant lands dominate the southern half of this mid-century survey, where the high-altitude terrain of Rio Arriba County meets the Colorado border. The landscape is defined by its seasonal grazing economy, evidenced by numerous historical outposts such as Brazos Cow Camp, Rivera Cow Camp, and Stewart Cow Camp. In the north, the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad traces a precarious route through the Toltec Gorge along the Rio de los Pinos, marking a critical transportation corridor for the region's industry and early tourism. Notable elevations like Brazos Peak and the dramatic Brazos Cliffs overlook a complex network of canyons and watercourses, including Chaves Creek and the Rio Brazos. This 1955 field check preserves the location of isolated landmarks such as Huffaker Cabin and the Lagunitas Guard Station before modern development altered these remote reaches of the Carson National Forest.
