1967 Map of Beaver Creek Reservoir

About this map

The Rio Grande and its South Fork Rio Grande carve through the high-elevation landscape of the Rio Grande National Forest in this late 1960s topographic study. The area is defined by a series of water management and recreational sites, notably the Beaver Creek Reservoir and the smaller Million Reservoir to the north. These water bodies, along with the Beaver Creek Youth Camp and multiple sites like Park Creek Campground, indicate a mid-century focus on public forest use and water storage for the surrounding valley.
