1964 Map of Calf Canyon

About this map

Roan Creek and Salt Creek carve through this high-altitude terrain in the mid-1960s, defining a landscape of deep drainages and prominent ridges. The geography is characterized by expansive plateaus like Pike Ridge and Long Point, which separate complex canyon systems. The area was primarily accessed by a network of JEEP TRAILs and PACK TRAILs, reflecting a period of limited infrastructure focused on grazing and resource management. Notable landmarks include the singular Upper Four A Mountain in the northeast and the isolated Bear Park meadows. Water sources were critical in this environment, as evidenced by the numerous unnamed springs scattered throughout Calf Canyon and Corral Canyon. This survey provides a look at the backcountry of the Western Slope before modern development, capturing the essential drainage patterns of the Williams Fork and East Salt Creek.
