1967 Map of Trinchera Ranch

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The historical Sangre De Cristo Grant landscape is meticulously detailed in this 1967 survey, capturing a transition between the high peaks and the developed ranching valley. Central to the map's historical narrative is the Garland City (Site), a location that marks the path of western expansion along the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. The presence of a Cem near the city site and the Trinchera Ranch headquarters further south highlights the era's settlement patterns. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Cat Mountain down to the Mountain Home Reservoir. Managed water resources are evident through features like the Indian Creek Ditch and several gaging stations along Trinchera Creek, reflecting the vital importance of irrigation and water control for high-altitude ranching and agriculture in Costilla County.
