1964 Map of Pagosa Peak

About this map

Pagosa Peak dominates the center of this 1960s survey, a prominent summit within the San Juan National Forest that serves as a focal point for the surrounding high-country drainages. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Piedra River and its various forks, including the North Fork Little Pagosa Creek and Little Pagosa Creek. Human activity is sparse and largely concentrated around private holdings like Minor Notch Ranch and Cade Ranch, reflecting a landscape geared toward seasonal ranching and outdoor recreation, complete with a high-altitude Golf Course near Arrowhead Lake.
