1964 Map of Barkelew Draw

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Lilylands and the expansive Hamilton Mesa anchor this mid-1960s survey of the high plateau country in San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the namesake Barkelew Draw and the more complex West Mud Springs Draw. While much of the eastern portion is protected within the Uncompahgre National Forest, the map also documents the modest human infrastructure of the era, such as the Basin Sch and various local resource extractions. Irrigation and water management are evident through features like the Two Fork Reservoir and several canals cut into the terrain. The presence of a Gravel Pit and scattered wells reflects the small-scale industrial and ranching activities that supported this community before more modern development reached the area.
