1889 Map of Huerfano Park

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Huerfano River carves a central path through this high-altitude landscape, where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate the western horizon. Topography by C.H. Fitch and Perry Fuller reveals a region defined by critical mountain passages like Music Pass, Mosca Pass, and the strategically significant La Veta Pass. These gaps in the terrain dictate the flow of early commerce and travel, connecting small mining and ranching outposts such as Placer and Gardner.
