1984 Map of Chama Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Tierra Amarilla Grant Boundary cuts through the high-elevation terrain of this 1984 survey, marking a legacy of Spanish and Mexican land grants in the San Juan Mountains. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Navajo River and the Rio Chamita, separated by the high ridges of the Continental Divide. Industrial footprints are surprisingly present in this remote high country, most notably the Oil Field and Gramps settlement near the riverbanks. Water management infrastructure, critical for the region's downstream agriculture, is highlighted by the Oso Diversion Dam and the Oso Tunnel. High-altitude lakes like Dolomite Lake and Native Lake are tucked into the drainages below towering summits such as Chama Peak and Banded Peak. A network of travel routes including the Skeeter Park Trail and various Jeep Trails provide the primary access to these meadows and alpine slopes.
