About this map

The Philmont Scout Ranch dominates this mid-century landscape in Colfax County, showing an intricate network of trail camps and base camps established for the scouts. The map details the transition from the ranch's earlier ranching and industrial history to its recreational use, noting features like American Creek Cow Camp, the Old Cartwright Mill Site, and the Lambert Mine. High peaks and ridges, including the iconic Tooth of Time and Shaefers Peak, tower over a terrain marked by various land grants, including the Beaubien and Miranda Grant and the Mora Grant. The numerous trail camps such as Cyphers Mine Trail Camp and Crater Lake Base Camp illustrate the specialized development of this mountain area. To the north, the Cimarron Canyon Wildlife Area provides a different land management context adjacent to the high-altitude peaks like Tolby Peak and Comanche Peak.
