1964 Map of Jicarita Peak

About this map

Jicarita Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain dominate this mid-century survey of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, capturing the intersection of the Carson National Forest and the Santa Fe National Forest. The landscape is defined by its extensive drainage systems, including the Rio Santa Barbara and Rio Pueblo, which flow from the alpine ridges. A network of pack trails, such as the Osha Trail and Comales Trail, illustrates the era's reliance on traditional routes for accessing the high country before modern mechanized transit altered wilderness management.
