About this map

Camp Val Verde and Lost Cabin Ranch sit within the high-elevation landscape of the Rio Grande National Forest during the late 1960s. The map illustrates a region defined by its reliance on seasonal access and specialized encampments, such as the Phillips University Camp near the Alamosa River. A network of primitive transportation routes, including Jeep Trails, Pack Trails, and a dedicated Stock Driveway, indicates a working landscape of ranching and forestry rather than permanent urban settlement.

Physical landmarks like Greenie Mountain and Lion Point dominate the center of the sheet, while drainage patterns of Rock Creek and Cat Creek carve through the forested terrain. Evidence of small-scale extraction appears at a labeled Mine and Prospect, positioned away from the primary recreation areas like Rock Creek Campground and the Ranger Station. The boundary between Rio Grande and Conejos counties cuts across the southern portion of the quadrangle.
