2013 Map of Buena Vista West
USGS Topo · Published 2013About this map
Buena Vista serves as the eastern anchor for this western Chaffee County landscape, where the town's residential grid meets the expansive San Isabel National Forest. The geography is defined by a complex irrigation network essential to high-altitude agriculture, featuring the Arkansas Valley Canal, McKenna Ditch, and Wolf and Neerland Ditch. Higher elevations to the west are marked by the Collegiate Peaks and Bald Mountain, while the lowlands are dotted with historical local landmarks like Mt Olivet Cem and the Maxwell School. This area shows a transition from the structured town center and the Central Colorado Regional Airport into the wilder drainage basins of Cottonwood Cr and Maxwell Cr. The presence of Cottonwood Hot Springs and Rancho Sawatch indicates a long-standing reliance on the area's natural geothermal and water resources.
