About this map

The Culebra Range dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Costilla and Las Animas Counties. This 2016 survey documents a topography defined by significant peaks, including the prominent Culebra Peak, Vermejo Peak, and Purgatoire Peak. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of alpine waterways, with drainage systems such as Vallejos Cr and Las Vigas Cr flowing through the high basins.

South of these summits, the land opens into the high-country meadow of Devils Park and the isolated Leandro Lake. These features, along with the headwaters of Little Vermejo Cr and Ricardo Cr, illustrate a largely roadless environment where the geography itself dictates movement. This map provides a precise record of the natural landmarks and complex contouring that define this portion of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
