1956 Map of Cowdrey

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The North Platte River and its major tributaries, including the Canadian River and Michigan River, define the hydraulic landscape of this North Park region in the 1950s. The settlement of Cowdrey serves as a central point in an area characterized by extensive ranching and water management, evidenced by the numerous irrigation projects such as the Union Ditch and Pioneer Ditch. Resource extraction is prominent in the northern reaches, where the Camp Creek Mines, Springer Mine, and Gero Mine Penber Mine are situated near the Routt National Forest boundary. Family legacies are etched into the terrain through various homesteads and landholdings, including the Simmons Ranch, Waldron Ranch, and Hanson Ranch. In the southern portion, the Walden Jackson County Airport and the large expanse of the Walden Reservoir mark the local infrastructure near the edge of the survey area.
