1967 Map of Torres

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Maxwell Land Grant dominates this 1967 survey of the Las Animas high country, where the headwaters of the South Fork Purgatoire River meet a landscape shaped by early ranching and resource extraction. The small settlement of Torres serves as a central point in a terrain marked by complex water management, including the Consolidated Ditch and Quatro Ditch. To the east, the remains of an Old Railroad Grade and the Tercio Cem provide evidence of the area's industrial past, likely tied to the nearby Cornell Mine and Quatro Mine. Dramatic geological formations like The Stonewall and The Little Wall define the vertical relief, while isolated outposts such as Davenport Cabin and Sheep Camp suggest the seasonal rhythms of high-altitude life before modern development altered these remote Colorado valleys.
