About this map

Sangre De Cristo Range peaks dominate this high-elevation landscape along the border of Costilla and Huerfano counties. High mountain drainage systems define the area, with the North Fork McCarty Creek and South Fork McCarty Creek converging in the central Mc Carty Park basin. This 1994 revision by the U.S. Forest Service highlights the cattle and ranching infrastructure of the era, notably McCarty Cow Camp and Red Gate Corral.

Significant landmarks like Harrison Peak and Napoleon Peak rise above the complex network of 4WD trails and canyons within the San Isabel National Forest. The map also captures several named mountain corridors including American Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, alongside the strategic transit point at Veta Pass in the northeastern corner. These details provide a clear picture of the land-use patterns and topographic challenges of the Colorado high country in the late 20th century.
