About this map

Veta Pass and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the San Isabel National Forest dominate this 2019 survey, where the border of Costilla County and Huerfano County meets at the continental divide. The map centers on the open meadowlands of McCarty Park, a focal point for a complex network of local roads and loops, including Forbes Park Rd and Wagon Mesa Loop. This modern survey illustrates how private residential development has reached into the historically remote basins of Indian Park and Elk Park.

Hydrography in this part of the Sangre de Cristo range is defined by the branching headwaters of Wagon Cr and the various forks of Indian Cr, which cut through deep terrain features like Sawmill Canyon and Tracy Canyon. Elevations rise sharply toward named summits such as Harrison Peak, Raspberry Mtn, and Napoleon Peak, providing a clear look at the relationship between the rugged topography and the evolving settlement patterns near Fir and Codo.
