1969 Map of San Isabel

About this map

San Isabel and the recreation areas of the San Isabel National Forest dominate this late-1960s survey along the intersection of Custer, Pueblo, and Huerfano counties. High-altitude hydrology is the defining characteristic of the landscape, centered on Lake Isabel and various drainages like the Saint Charles River and Muddy Creek. The map shows a network of historic backcountry routes, including the Saint Charles Trail and Pole Creek Trail, which provide access to the high peaks and deep canyons.
