2001 Map of Beckwith Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

Wet Mountain Valley dominates this high-altitude Custer County landscape, where the transition from the Prairie floor to the high peaks of the Sangre De Cristo Wilderness is clearly defined. Small settlements and family holdings like The Pines and San Isabel Ranch are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the area's ranching roots. The map reveals an intricate network of water management essential for this arid environment, featuring numerous irrigation works such as the Lohstron Highline Ditch, Kick and Kint Ditch, and James Jarvis Swift Creek Ditch No 3. These human-made channels intersect natural watercourses like Texas Creek and Taylor Creek, while the Rainbow Trail skirts the forest boundary. Local genealogy and history are preserved at sites like The Pines Cem and Ula Cem, marking the early communities that settled at the foot of Beckwith Mountain.
