1967 Map of Cucharas Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Cucharas Pass serves as a critical geographic transition in this mid-century survey of the Sangre de Cristo foothills, marking the divide where the Cucharas River system flows north while the Apishapa River and North Fork Purgatoire River headwaters emerge to the south and east. The landscape is defined by its high-altitude drainage network, including Guajatoyah Creek and Coal Creek, which carve deep canyons through the Isabel National Forest. Small signs of human activity in this demanding environment are visible at Parsons Cow Camp and the Cucharas Campground along the river. The survey also captures the border between Huerfano and Las Animas counties, following the rugged ridgelines through Apishapa Pass and past prominent summits like Middle White Peak and South White Peak.
