2016 Map of La Veta Pass

About this map

La Veta Pass and North La Veta Pass serve as the primary gateways through the high country where the boundaries of Huerfano and Costilla counties converge. This mountain landscape is defined by its strategic corridors, notably the path through the Muleshoe area and the ascent past Windy Point. The map details a complex network of high-altitude water sources including Yellowstone Reservoir and the headwaters of Sangre de Cristo Cr. Distinctive landforms such as Mt Mestas, Dump Mtn, and Rough Mtn dominate the topography, while numerous named canyons like Mexican Canyon and Toll Canyon cut through the terrain. To the south, the settlement at Codo sits near the winding S Middle Cr, illustrating the relationship between the few level flats like McDowell Park and the surrounding peaks.
