2004 Map of Cloudcroft

About this map

The village of Cloudcroft serves as a high-altitude hub in the Sacramento Mountains, surrounded by the protected lands of the Lincoln National Forest. By the early 2000s, the landscape reflects a well-established recreational economy, anchored by the Ski Cloudcroft Ski Area, the Apache Recreation Area, and the Silver Snowplay Area. Notable for its combination of scientific and natural resources, the area features the Wofford Lookout Tower and a nearby Observatory, while cultural sites like the Silver Amphitheatre and Bass Cem provide a look into the community's local history. The complex network of canyons, including James Canyon and Cox Canyon, dictates the local geography and road placement. Smaller settlements and named sites such as Wimsatt and Chippeway Park dot the terrain, illustrating the gradual expansion of development within the forest boundaries during this era.
