1963 Map of Wheeler Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wheeler Peak stands as the centerpiece of this high-altitude survey, marking the topographic summit of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of glacial cirques and deep canyons, where the Carson National Forest meets the established boundaries of the Taos Pueblo. Within this alpine environment, numerous glacial tarns such as Williams Lake, Horseshoe Lake, and Blue Lake provide the headwaters for the Rio Hondo and Rio Lucero.
