1897 Map of Spanish Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1908

About this map

The dramatic twin peaks of East Spanish Peak and West Spanish Peak anchor the western skyline of this survey, defining a landscape of deep canyons and growing industrial outposts. By the late 1890s, the eastern foothills had become a critical hub for coal extraction and transport, centered on the bustling rail junction of Trinidad. The map documents a dense network of company towns and shipping points along the Denver and Rio Grande R.R. Trinidad Line, including Ludlow, Aguilar, and Hastings.
