1961 Map of Cattle Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cattle Creek and its surrounding mountain terrain are defined by the industrial activity of the early 1960s, where the Roaring Fork River valley serves as a corridor for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. The landscape is marked by the legacy of resource extraction, seen in the Abandoned Tramway leading from the Black Diamond Mine and the presence of the Sunlight Mine. Water management is critical in this environment, evidenced by a complex network of irrigation systems including the Sweet-Jessup Canal, Kaiser-Sievers Ditch, and Greenwood Ditch.
