1963 Map of Cuchara

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates the southern landscape of this 1963 survey, where high-altitude terrain transitions from the settlement at Cuchara toward the towering White Peaks. The drainage of the Cucharas River serves as the primary corridor for development, flowing north toward the Corporate Boundary of La Veta. Along the valley floor, the landscape is marked by small-scale resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the Linscott Mine and several irrigation structures like the Butte Ditch and Mc Donald Reservoir. Distinctive geological formations define the western ridge lines, including the dramatic Devils Stairsteps and Profile Rock. The map illustrates a network of 4WD and Jeep trails that provide access to remote areas like Price Canyon and Coleman Ridge, reflecting a mid-century period of recreation and rugged backcountry exploration.
