1892 Map of Huerfano Park

USGS Topo · Published 1900

About this map

Huerfano River drainage dominates this high-altitude landscape, where early settlement was dictated by mountain passes and the arrival of the rail. In the late 19th century, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad carved a vital route through the southern reaches, connecting the village of La Veta to the mining and ranching interests via Veta Pass. Small outposts like Malachite, Gardner, and Sharpsdale served as remote hubs for those navigating the eastern slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
