1964 Map of Tres Ritos

About this map

Carson National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century survey of the Sangre de Cristo foothills, where high-altitude ridges and deep canyons dictate the pattern of human activity. The southern edge of the map centers on the winding course of the Rio Pueblo, a vital water source that supports the settlement at Tres Ritos and the emerging recreational landscape of the Sipapu Ski Area. Notable for its legacy of Spanish land grants, the area is defined by the Rancho del Rio Grande and Santa Barbara boundaries, reflecting centuries of land use and complex property history.
