1964 Map of Beaver Park

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the deep descent of Beaver Canyon separates the broad Beaver Mesa from the peaks to the west. This mid-1960s survey documents a complex network of water management features essential for high-country life, including the Gurley Ditch, Nelson Ditch, and the West Beaver Highline Ditch. These irrigation channels trace the contours of the land, supporting remote outposts like Taylor Camp and Marie Scott Camp. For those tracing the history of forest management and early recreation, the presence of the Beaver Park Guard Station and Lone Cone Guard Station provides a clear look at the infrastructure of the federal forest service during this era. The terrain is marked by seasonal drainages such as McCulloch Creek and Galloway Creek, which flow toward the central artery of Beaver Creek.
