2011 Map of Beckwith Mountain

About this map

Wet Mountain Valley dominates this 2011 survey, revealing a landscape defined by ranching and an intricate water management system. The high-altitude terrain is marked by prominent peaks such as Beckwith Mountain, Buck Mountain, and Beddows Mountain, which overlook a network of seasonal and permanent watercourses. A complex infrastructure of irrigation channels, including the Ula Ditch, Hogback Ditch, and the Freer-Beckwith and Kennicott Ditch, underscores the agricultural importance of the prairie lands. Settled areas like The Pines and the San Isabel Ranch are supported by these water systems, while the Phares and Allen Mine serves as a reminder of the area's extraction history. Local genealogy is preserved at the Pines Cemetery and Ula Cemetery, providing clear points of reference for researchers tracing families in this part of Custer County.
