1967 Map of Red Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the Conejos River and its numerous tributaries carve through the Colorado mountains. In the mid-1960s, this area served as active working land for ranching and recreation, evidenced by the presence of Lake Fork Ranch and the Jim Creek Cow Camp. The map documents a complex network of seasonal transport, including the Hot Creek Stock Driveway and various Pack Trails, which were essential for moving livestock through the high country. High peaks like Red Mountain and Willow Mountain overlook numerous alpine water bodies such as Acascosa Lake and Empedrado Lake. These features, along with several locations labeled Prospect, suggest a history of exploration and resource management in the rugged terrain between California Gulch and the La Jara Meadows.
