1963 Map of Mc Carty Park

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The high ridges of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains dominate this 1960s survey, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad traverses the northern reaches through La Veta Pass. This landscape is defined by the transition from high-altitude peaks like Harrison Peak and Napoleon Peak to the deep drainages of Sawmill Canyon and American Gulch. Remote outposts such as Mc Carty Cow Camp and the small siding at Codo represent the limited human footprint in this mountainous terrain. The map captures a high-country network of movement, featuring a historic Wagon Road and numerous Jeep Trails that navigate the headwaters of Trinchera Creek and the forks of Mc Carty Park. Much of the eastern portion is protected within the San Isabel National Forest, marking a clear boundary between public lands and the private land grants of the southern Colorado frontier.
