1961 Map of Cottonwood Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Cottonwood Divide forms a prominent natural spine through this high-country landscape on the border of Eagle and Garfield counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages such as Spruce Creek and Bob Creek, which feed into the northern reaches of the Colorado River. This 1961 survey illustrates a region largely dedicated to watershed and resource management within the White River National Forest. A lone telephone line and scattered jeep trails provide the primary human infrastructure, connecting high points like Buck Point and The Eagle Nest. Local water management is evident at Van Springs Reservoir and the Beaver Ponds near Cottonwood Pass, marking a period when these upland basins were essential for regional stock and water supplies.
