1959 Map of Bristol Head

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Continental Divide serpentines across this high-altitude landscape of the San Juan Mountains, marking a rugged frontier where the Gunnison National Forest meets the Rio Grande National Forest. This 1959 field-checked survey reveals the remnants of nineteenth-century transit, most notably the Powderhorn Old Stage Sta (Ruins) and the San Juan Ranch (Old Stage Sta), documenting the legacy of stagecoach travel before modern roads dominated the passes.
