1957 Map of Aldrich Gulch

About this map

Silver Cliff Cemetery and Hope Cemetery anchor the northern and central sections of this 1950s survey, marking the landscape's early settlement history. The terrain transitions from the high valley floor into the rugged Rosita Hills and the slopes of Rattlesnake Hill. A complex network of drainage basins, including Grape Creek and the forks of North Colony Creek, Middle Colony Creek, and South Colony Creek, define the topography as it rises toward the San Isabel National Forest.
