1966 Map of Beaver Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Middle Mountain and Cold Spring Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape in the northwest corner of Colorado during the mid-1960s. The area, characterized by its reliance on water sources and seasonal grazing, is centered around the Beaver Basin watershed. Evidence of ranching history is present at Buckley Cow Camp, while a network of named springs like Richies Spring, Bobs Spring, and Antelope Spring suggests the vital importance of water in this arid environment. The map shows a transition from the peaks of Diamond Peak and Bishop Peak down into the meadows of Elk Meadow and the valley floors. Transportation is limited to a primitive network of Jeep Trails and a Matt Trail (Pack), illustrating the high-country isolation of this region bordering the Wyoming state line.
