1957 Map of Pagosa Junction

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Pagosa Junction (Gato) serves as a primary rail and river junction on this late-1950s survey, where the D & R G W RR follows the winding course of the San Juan River along the Colorado-New Mexico border. This landscape is defined by the high plateaus and canyons of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and the San Juan National Forest. Small settlements like Juanita, Trujillo, and Villareal are scattered along the river valleys and canyon floors, linked by historic routes such as the Navajo Trail. The topography is marked by significant overlooks like Billy Goat Point and Monte Camado, illustrating the complex drainage systems of Stollsteimer Creek and Nutria Creek as they flow toward the border. For the genealogist or historian, the presence of a Cem near Trujillo and the dual-named railroad stops provide specific points of interest for tracing early San Juan Basin habitation.
