1963 Map of Red River Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Beaubien and Miranda (Maxwell) land grant boundaries define the eastern half of this high-altitude landscape, where the Sangre de Cristo range meets the expansive meadows of the Moreno Valley. In the early 1960s, this area remained largely defined by ranching and legacy mining activity, with Moreno Ranch and Mute Ranch situated along the drainage of Moreno Creek. The map documents a rugged interior accessible by a network of primitive routes and a jeep trail, linking points like Bobcat Pass and Red River Pass. Historic mining interest is evidenced by mines in Black Copper Canyon and multiple prospects near Bitter Creek, while the presence of Memphis and various named parks like Kentucky Park and Italian Park suggest a history of seasonal settlement and high-country grazing within the Carson National Forest.
