2013 Map of Tooth of Time

About this map

Philmont Scout Ranch serves as the focal point for this 2013 survey of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, documenting a landscape defined by its network of backcountry camps and high-altitude landmarks. The topography is anchored by the iconic Tooth of Time and the Tooth of Time Ridge in the east, while the western reaches include high points like Bonito Peak and Bear Mtn. The map meticulously details the historic camp system, from Cimarroncito Camp near the Cimarroncito Reservoir to more remote outposts like Cyphers Mine Camp and Beaubien Camp. The drainage patterns of the North Fork Cimarroncito Cr and Rayado Cr illustrate the complex watershed that supports the high-desert ecology and local reservoirs, including Webster Reservoir. This edition provides an essential record of the ranch’s trails and geographic features as they stood in the early 21st century.
