1961 Map of Cottonwood Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

White River National Forest defines the southern and eastern reaches of this high-elevation quadrangle, where the Divide carves a natural barrier through the heart of the landscape. The Colorado River flows through the northern edge, paralleled by the tracks of the D & R G W railroad. This 1961 survey, later updated with photorevisions, reveals a network of water and terrain names essential for local research, from the Beaver Ponds near Slaughter Gulch to the livestock and wildlife significance implied by names like Gobbler Knob and The Eagle Nest. High points like Cottonwood Pass and Buck Point anchor the survey, while a series of gulches including Sawmill Gulch and Fitzpatrick Gulch suggest early resource extraction and land use. For genealogists and historians, the precise delineation of the Garfield Co and Eagle Co boundary provides a clear record of administrative lines in this montane environment.
