2013 Map of Cerro Vista

About this map

Carson National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape where the Sangre de Cristo and Santa Fe Mountains meet. The area is defined by complex topography, with peaks like Cerro Vista and Cerro Olla rising above deeply carved drainages including Diablo Canyon and Rincon Canyon. For local historians, the map identifies the La Junta Summerhome Area and the community of Chacon, alongside high-country resources like the Sierra Ditch. The presence of Upper La Junta Campground and Duran Canyon Campground points to the area's role as a recreational refuge. Water systems are intricate, featuring high-elevation points like Sulphur Spring and Huero Lake, while the Rio Grande del Rancho and Rito la Presa drain the varied terrain of Maestas Ridge and the Valle De Las Romeros.
