1907 Map of San Cristobal

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The high alpine terrain of the San Juan Mountains dominates this early 20th-century survey, centered on the headwaters of the Lake Fork Gunnison River and the upper Rio Grande. In the northwest, the small mining-era settlements of Whitecross and Burrows sit deep in the gulches below Redcloud Pk and Sunshine Pk, reflecting a period when high-altitude mineral extraction shaped the local economy. The mapping of Lake San Cristobal and nearby Lakemans Fishponds highlights the area's hydrology at the turn of the century, prior to modern water management changes.
