1963 Map of Ute Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Ute Mountain dominates the landscape of this Northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado border region, rising sharply above the surrounding high plains. The survey, field-checked in the early 1960s, documents a transition from the volcanic heights of the mountain to the deep incision of the Canon del Rio Grande along the western edge. This river corridor, carved by the Rio Grande, defines the local topography alongside tributaries like Castilla Creek. Human activity is marked by scattered infrastructure including a remote Landing Strip and an isolated Mine on the eastern slopes of the peak. Large-scale land divisions are prominent, with the Grant Boundary cutting across the terrain, reflecting the complex history of regional land grants. The map also delineates the meeting point of several jurisdictions, including the intersection of Conejos, Costilla, and Taos counties at the state line.
