1994 Map of Cuchara

USGS Topo · Published 2001

About this map

San Isabel National Forest dominates the terrain of this survey, which captures a landscape defined by sharp topographical relief and the deep incisions of the Cucharas River. The southern portion of the map is punctuated by dramatic geological features like the Devils Stairsteps and Sawtooth Rock, while the northern reaches provide a look at the outskirts of La Veta and the small mountain settlement of Cuchara. Resource extraction and water management are evident throughout the quadrangle, from the Linscott Mine and various prospects tucked into the gulches to the network of reservoirs including the H R Carson Reservoir and Hayes Reservoir. The presence of the Three Bridges along the river and the Gaging Sta further indicates the infrastructure required to manage the mountain drainage systems as they descend from peaks like Raspberry Mountain and Kruger Mountain.
