1967 Map of Crestone Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Luis Maria Baca Grant No 4 defines the western edge of this 1960s survey, marking a distinct cadastral boundary against the high peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Range. The landscape is dominated by extreme elevations, centering on the formidable Crestone Peak and its neighbor Crestone Needle. This area serves as a significant drainage divide between the Rio Grande National Forest and San Isabel National Forest, where water flows from high alpine sources like Upper Sand Creek Lake and Deadman Lakes. Navigation through this vertical terrain was limited to a network of established paths such as the Colony Creek Pack Trail and the Music Pass Trail. A isolated Mine near Broken Hand Peak points to small-scale mineral prospecting high above the timberline, while features like Music Pass provide the primary transit points across the rugged crest of the range.
