1967 Map of Cuchara

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

Cuchara serves as the central anchor of this high-altitude landscape, situated along the Cucharas River within the southern reaches of the San Isabel National Forest. The 1960s terrain is defined by a dense network of steep drainages, including Rilling Canyon and Echo Canyon, which feed into larger water bodies such as Mc Donald Reservoir and Town Lakes. Significant peaks and formations like Raspberry Mountain, Kruger Mtn, and the distinctive Goemmer Butte dominate the horizon, while natural features like Sulphur Springs suggest the local geological character. This topographic study reveals a landscape shaped by early water management, evidenced by numerous ditches and reservoirs like Hayes Res and the Hr Carson Reservoir, supporting a mountain community defined by its proximity to the river and the surrounding peaks of the Sangre de Cristo foothills.
