1972 Map of Miners Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Miners Peak and Prospect Peak anchor this high-plains landscape in southeastern Colorado during the early 1970s. The topography is defined by the deep incisions of Canyon walls and the winding course of Chacuaco Creek, where Aguaje Springs provides a rare water source in the arid terrain. This 1972 field-checked survey reveals the deep historical layering of the region, prominently featuring a segment of the legendary Santa Fe Trail cutting across the mesas. Transportation history is further detailed through the presence of the Granada Road and Fort Union Road, illustrating the movement of goods and travelers through Las Animas County. The map identifies isolated Cem sites and scattered gravel pits, indicating a remote landscape of ranching and early commerce where fence lines were carefully mapped by aerial photogrammetric methods.
