1967 Map of Crestone Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest converge at the crest of the Sangre de Cristo Range, where some of Colorado's most formidable summits dominate the landscape. The high-altitude terrain is defined by jagged peaks such as Crestone Peak and Crestone Needle, alongside the massif of Kit Carson Mountain and its prominent Challenger Point. The map details a network of alpine basins containing the North Colony Lakes and Macey Lakes, which feed the drainages of Willow Creek and Cottonwood Creek. A notable boundary for the Baca land grant, marked as Grant Boundary (Indefinite), runs through the western canyons like Maria Canyon. The survey also identifies several unnamed Mines and Mines, particularly near Milwaukee Hill, hinting at the mineral exploration that often accompanied high-country surveying in the mid-20th century.
