1963 Map of Latir Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Latir Peak and the high alpine terrain of the Sangre de Cristo range dominate this 1963 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by its glacial features and high-altitude water bodies, including Latir Lakes, Bear Lake, and Heart Lake. Much of the area is preserved within the Carson National Forest, where a network of pack trails and jeep trails provides the only access through deep drainages like Sanchez Canyon and Vallejos Creek. Human presence is sparse, limited to the isolated Baldy Cabin and scattered prospects that hint at the region's mineral history. The Grant Boundary cuts through the western peaks, marking a significant legal and historical demarcation in this high-desert mountain environment. Topographic detail captures the sharp relief between Latir Mesa and the surrounding summits like Venado Peak and Virsvylvia Peak.
