1964 Map of Tres Ritos

About this map

Rio Pueblo flows through the southern heart of this high-altitude landscape, anchoring a corridor of activity within the Carson National Forest. Near the settlement of Tres Ritos, the terrain is defined by recreation and timber access, featuring the Agua Piedra Campground and nearby ski runs indicating the area's development for outdoor tourism by the mid-1960s. The northern reaches are dominated by massive topographic features like Maestas Ridge and the Picuris Mountains, while the Cristoval de la Serna Grant Bdy marks a significant historical land division in the northwest corner. Numerous spring-fed canyons, such as Ojo Sarco Canyon and Apache Canyon, suggest a landscape shaped by seasonal water management and the rugged cattle-ranching traditions of the Rancho del Rio Grande region.
