1907 Map of San Cristobal

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

High-altitude mining camps and the headwaters of the American West dominate this survey of the northern San Juan Mountains. Recorded by E.M. Douglas and J.F. McBeth shortly after the turn of the century, the map details a landscape where the Continental Divide dictates the flow of the Rio Grande and the Gunnison River. At the base of Sunshine Pk and Redcloud Pk, small settlements like Whitecross and Carson mark the era's mining activity. The geography is characterized by deep basins and glacial features, notably Lake San Cristobal and its small lakeside community at Lake Shore. This record preserves the early paths through the range, including the Lost Trail and the significant crossing at Weminuche Pass, before modern accessibility altered these remote Hinsdale County reaches.
