1964 Map of Baxter Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Baxter Pass serves as the topographic centerpiece of this 1960s study, marking a high divide where the drainages of Evacuation Creek and Salt Creek diverge. The map reveals a landscape defined by deep canyons and industrial infrastructure, including a prominent Pipeline that cuts across the high country near Columbine Spring. At the base of the pass, the settlement of Atchee occupies a narrow valley floor, positioned along a marked railroad grade that historically connected this remote Garfield County region. The presence of a Gas Well and Drill Hole markers near Wagon Canyon reflects the era's focus on resource extraction within the intricate network of drainage systems like Bittermilk Canyon and Hells Hole Canyon. Local landmarks such as McAndrews Lake and a Radio Tower provide specific points of orientation for those studying the mid-century development of these Colorado uplands.
