1962 Map of Clark

About this map

The Elk River valley in northern Colorado serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this 1962 survey. The small community of Clark is situated along the riverbank, supported by a network of ranching roads and early forest infrastructure such as Greenville Road and Campbell Road. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Routt National Forest, where resource extraction is evident at the Greenville Mine and a Sawmill located near Cottonwood Gulch. Local civic life is anchored by the Moon Hill Sch near the Moon Hill Bridge, providing a clear look at the rural school system before mid-century consolidation. The map further documents a complex irrigation system of named ditches and gaging stations necessary for managing water in this high-altitude terrain, flanked by peaks like Mc Alpin Mountain and Mount Pau.
