1961 Map of Cowles

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Cowles sits at the confluence of several mountain waterways in the early 1960s, serving as a focal point for the surrounding Santa Fe National Forest. The settlement's connection to the high-country landscape is defined by the Pecos River, which is joined here by Winsor Creek, Panchuela Creek, and Jacks Creek. The presence of a Panchuela Ranger Station and a Gaging Sta indicates the area's importance for forest management and water monitoring. Higher elevations are marked by alpine features like Stewart Lake, Lake Johnson, and Spirit Lake, accessible via the Winsor Trail and numerous unnamed pack trails. A small area of Mine Dumps near Willow Creek points to the localized mineral exploration common in this part of New Mexico, while the broad Horsethief Meadow provides a distinct break in the timbered slopes.
