2022 Map of El Valle Creek

About this map

Culebra Range summits dominate the high-altitude landscape of this Costilla County survey, where the peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains form a natural barrier at the border of Las Animas County. The terrain is defined by extreme relief, from the sharp crest of Beaubien Peak and Francisco Peak to the hidden basins containing Carneros Lake and Strawberry Lake. High passes like Whiskey Pass provide the only breaks in the ridgeline, marking historical routes through this mountainous terrain.
