1967 Map of Medano Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Medano Pass serves as a critical high-altitude junction in this late 1960s survey, marking the intersection of the Huerfano and Saguache county lines. The landscape is defined by the meeting of three major federal jurisdictions: the Rio Grande National Forest, San Isabel National Forest, and the eastern fringes of the Great Sand Dunes National Monument. The settlement of Ziegler and various prospects suggest the history of resource exploration in the high country, where the terrain is carved by complex drainages like Medano Creek and its many branches.
