About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, defined by the winding course of the Alamosa River and its numerous tributary gulches. The terrain is a network of ridges and drainage basins, notably Greenie Mountain and Cat Creek Park, where the land is carved by Poison Gulch and Burnt Gulch. The presence of Camp Val Verde and the Phillips University Camp indicates the area's mid-century use as a center for organized outdoor recreation and education.

Evidence of resource management and early settlement persists through a Ranger Sta and the Lost Cabin Ranch. While largely undeveloped, the map documents small-scale industrial history with a labeled Prospect and Mine, alongside several established forest campsites like Rock Creek Campground and Alamosa Campground. This survey offers a clear view of the complex hydrology between the South Fork Raton Creek and the southern river valley before modern road expansions.
