1959 Map of Horn Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Sangre de Cristo Range forms a dramatic western spine on this 1959 survey, where the high peaks of Mount Adams and Horn Peak define the boundary between Custer and Saguache counties. The transition from the high-altitude wilderness of the San Isabel National Forest to the pastoral drainage of the Wet Mountain Valley is visible through a complex network of glacial features and mountain streams. High lakes such as Comanche Lake and Goodwin Lakes feed into various branches of Taylor Creek and Cottonwood Creek. Human presence is concentrated on the lower slopes, where Tanglewood Acres and Horn Creek Ranch are situated near the edge of the forest. The Rainbow Trail runs parallel to the base of the mountains, acting as a historical conduit for travel through this rugged stretch of central Colorado.
