1961 Map of Cottonwood Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Cottonwood Divide forms a prominent natural boundary in this high-country landscape, separating the intricate drainage systems of Spruce Creek and East Coulter Creek. In the early 1960s, this area of the White River National Forest was defined by its remote water features and rugged landmarks, including the isolated Von Springs Reservoir and the Beaver Ponds along Sawmill Gulch. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Buck Point and Gobbler Knob, while the northern edge is traced by the Colorado River and the tracks of the D & R G W railroad. For local history, the map documents specific named sites such as The Eagle Nest and the path of the Cottonwood Trail, providing a clear view of the land before modern recreational development intensified.
