About this map

The mountain community of Beulah sits at the foot of Hogback Mountain, where the St Charles River and its various forks descend toward the plains. This 1963 field-checked survey documents the local infrastructure of the era, including the Ranger Station, a Filtration Plant, and the Beulah Cem. The landscape is defined by its transition from the steep elevations of the San Isabel National Forest to the lower, broken terrain of Turtle Buttes and Bantam Hill to the east.

Local ranching and rural life are represented by features such as Three R Ranch and the small settlement of Goodpasture. Water sources were clearly vital for the region's development, as evidenced by the network of drainage systems like Squirrel Creek, Middle Creek, and Burnt Mill Creek. The map also captures several prominent landmarks used for navigation and local identity, including Sugarloaf Mountain, Mt Signal, and Cedar Grove.
