1964 Map of Baxter Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Atchee sits at the base of a complex drainage network where Railroad Canyon and Wagon Canyon converge into the winding course of Salt Creek. This 1964 field-checked survey illustrates a high-desert landscape defined by industrial utility and natural water sources, featuring a prominent pipeline and numerous vital water points like Columbine Spring and McAndrews Lake. The presence of Railroad Canyon and a network of jeep trails reflects the area's history of logistics and transportation through the steep terrain leading up to Baxter Pass. Geologic and energy exploration is evident through markers for a Gas Well and several drill holes scattered among the deep cuts of Snow Grove Canyon and Sawmill Gulch. This map provides a clear record of the intersection between Colorado's resource extraction infrastructure and its demanding physical geography.
