1965 Map of Big Soap Park

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-1960s survey of high-elevation terrain, defined by the drainage basins of the West and East forks of Soap Creek. The West Elk Wilderness occupies the eastern portion of the sheet, where steep drainages like Smooth Canyon cut through the landscape. Settlement is minimal in this wilderness-focused region, though the Waterman Ranch is noted near the center of Big Soap Park, providing a rare point of human habitation in a landscape otherwise defined by pack trails and prominent peaks.
