1963 Map of La Veta Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

The Sangre de Cristo Creek and its many tributaries, including Yellowstone Creek and North Abeyta Creek, carve through this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Huerfano and Costilla counties. This 1960s survey provides a look at the infrastructure required to navigate the Sangre De Cristo Range, notably the historic Toll Wagon Road winding near Wagon Mesa and the winding route past Muleshoe. The map documents early transit corridors through La Veta Pass and North La Veta Pass, which were essential for crossing the divide before modern highway alignments were finalized.
