1967 Map of Beaver Creek Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The South Fork Rio Grande cuts through the northern reaches of this high-elevation landscape, where the Rio Grande National Forest dominates the terrain of Mineral and Rio Grande counties. The map documents an area defined by water management and mountain recreation in the late 1960s, centered on the Beaver Creek Reservoir and the smaller Million Reservoir. A network of specialized transportation routes, including the Tewsberry Pack Trail and several rugged jeep trails like the Coal Mine Park Jeep Trail, reveals how these backcountry areas were accessed for both forest management and cattle grazing. Evidence of seasonal alpine use is scattered throughout, from the Beaver Creek Youth Camp and multiple campgrounds to the wide expanse of Cattle Mountain and the high peaks of Goodrich Peak and Demijohn Peak.
