1967 Map of Vicente Canyon

About this map

La Jara Creek winds through a complex system of drainage basins and high-altitude terrain in this 1960s survey of southern Colorado. The landscape is defined by its deep arroyos and named canyons, including Vicente Canyon, Garambuyo Canyon, and Trujillo Canyon, which reveal the erosional patterns of the San Luis Valley's western edge. Human land use is concentrated on resource management and navigation, evidenced by the Horned Owl Retention Dam and several Cinder Pits located near Flat Top. Within the Rio Grande National Forest, a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails provide the primary access to this high country. The presence of a Gaging Sta along the creek and scattered Spring labels highlights the critical importance of water monitoring in this arid environment.
