1963 Map of La Veta Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

La Veta Pass serves as a primary geographic focus in this southern Colorado survey, illustrating the complex transit corridors through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The landscape is defined by its history of high-altitude movement, featuring the Denver and Rio Grande Western Wagon Toll Road following the path of Sangre de Cristo Creek. This mountain pass area has long been a critical link between the San Luis Valley and the eastern plains, shown here before modern highway realignments altered the historic approaches to North La Veta Pass.
