1907 Map of San Cristobal

USGS Topo · Published 1907

About this map

The Continental Divide forms the backbone of this high-altitude landscape, separating the headwaters of the Rio Grande from the Lake Fork Gunnison River. Recorded during the 1904–1905 survey, the region is dominated by two massive federal preserves, the Cochetopa Forest Reserve and the San Juan Forest Reserve. Mining-era settlements like Whitecross and Carson are visible alongside specialized landmarks such as Lakemans Fishponds and Burrows Park. High peaks including Rio Grande Pyramid and Redcloud Pk tower over the terrain, while travelers utilized Weminuche Pass to cross the divide. The map provides clear evidence of early water management and natural resource boundaries, including the Boundary Line between Hinsdale and Mineral counties and prominent water bodies like Lake San Cristobal.
