1972 Map of Doss Canyon South

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves through the northwest corner of this Colorado landscape, defining a terrain of deep drainages and intermittent water sources. In the early 1970s, the area's rural infrastructure is centered on isolated family and community landmarks, such as Pleasant View Cem situated on the high ground above a network of canyons. The map reveals a land utilized for aviation and energy transit, evidenced by the presence of Landing Strips and a long-distance Pipeline that cuts across the western sections.
