1966 Map of Big Joe Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Browns Park and the surrounding high country of northwestern Colorado define this 1966 topographic study. The landscape is dominated by the massive Cold Spring Mountain and the distinct topographic divide of Limestone Ridge. Settled patterns are sparse, focusing instead on seasonal water sources like Pablo Spring, Matt Spring, and Swede Spring that supported livestock in this arid basin. A small genealogical landmark, the Bassett Cem, sits near the base of the mountains, suggesting the early homesteading history of the area.
