1963 Map of La Veta Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Sangre de Cristo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where several mountain passes converge at the border of Huerfano and Costilla counties. The transport corridor is notably dense for such high terrain, centering on La Veta Pass and North La Veta Pass. The alignment of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad provides a clear study in mountain engineering, featuring the dramatic curve at Muleshoe and the steep ascent toward Windy Point.
