1965 Map of Cold Spring Park

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Gunnison National Forest land dominates this high-altitude landscape in Saguache County, characterized by a complex network of mountain gulches and alpine parks. The ranching and resource management history of the mid-1960s is evident at the McDonough Ranch and the nearby Old Agency Ranger Station. Water management is a primary theme of the terrain, with several named irrigation structures such as the Smith Ford Ditch, Tarbell and Alexander Ditch, and Van Tassel Ditch carrying water across the basin to support local operations. Significant high-country basins like Sanderson Park and Cold Spring Park are connected only by a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, emphasizing the remote character of the region. A lone Landing Strip and a marked Grave near Blue Creek offer small, human-scale details within the broad expanse of forest and range.
