1963 Map of La Veta Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Sangre de Cristo mountain peaks dominate this early 1960s survey, marking a critical transit corridor between Huerfano and Costilla counties. The topography centers on a series of historic mountain crossings, including Sangre de Cristo Pass, North La Veta Pass, and La Veta Pass. These gaps in the range have long dictated the movement of people and commerce, shown here by the path of U.S. 160 and the winding route of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad.
