1959 Map of Horn Peak

About this map

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate this 1959 survey, where the peaks of Horn Peak and Comanche Peak tower over the high-altitude terrain. The landscape is divided by the Custer Co Saguache Co line, which follows the ridgeline between the San Isabel National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. Lower elevations to the east descend into the Wet Mountain Valley, where early-twentieth-century recreational and residential sites like Horn Creek Ranch, Abbots Lodge, and Tanglewood Acres are established near the Forest Boundary.
