1983 Map of West Fork Rio Brazos

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Tierra Amarilla defines the southwestern portion of this high-elevation landscape, where the border between New Mexico and Colorado intersects the continental drainage of the West Fork Rio Brazos. The region is characterized by a complex network of alpine watercourses including Arkansas Creek, Apache Creek, and Little Willow Creek. A notable feature of historical and engineering interest is the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic RR, which winds through the northern section of the map near the Osier Mesa. This narrow-gauge rail line remains a significant cultural landmark within the Carson National Forest. The map also delineates the Grant Boundary, illustrating the intersection of public forest lands with early land grants. Large expanses like Brazos Meadows and the surrounding national forests reflect the area's history as a hub for timber and resource management along the state line.
