1967 Map of Crestone Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high Sangre de Cristo Range defines this landscape, where the boundary between Custer and Saguache counties follows the towering continental divide. Massive granite formations such as Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, and Kit Carson Mountain dominate the skyline, surrounded by a complex system of alpine basins and glacial tarns including Upper Sand Creek Lake and the South Colony Lakes. The western portion of the map covers the historic Luis Maria Baca Grant, an area marked by numerous unnamed mines and the Deadman Trail, suggesting a legacy of prospecting and high-altitude extraction.
