1962 Map of Clark

About this map

The Elk River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and industry in this 1962 survey of the Colorado high country. The small communities of Clark and Glen Eden are established along the riverbanks, supported by an economy of natural resource extraction as evidenced by a Sawmill near Cottonwood Gulch and a Quarry near the river bend. Within the surrounding Routt National Forest, the landscape is defined by complex drainage systems like Dutch Gulch and Franz Creek, while the Greenville Mine sits tucked away on a mountain ridge. Human passage through the steep terrain is marked by the Moon Hill Bridge and the winding Greenville Road, alongside a network of pack trails and jeep tracks that connect high-elevation features such as Mc Alpin Mountain and the high-altitude Pond Lily Lakes.
