1967 Map of Crestone

About this map

The high mountain settlement of Crestone serves as the focal point for this survey, situated at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The map illustrates a complex landscape of water management and resource extraction, defined by an extensive network of creeks including North Crestone Creek, South Crestone Creek, and Willow Creek. Local history is anchored by the Cem and Teton Cem, while the industrial past of the region is evidenced by an Old Railroad Grade and several Mines and Prospects scattered throughout the drainage basins.
