1961 Map of Dudley Creek

About this map

The Continental Divide and the high ridges of the Sierra Madre define the landscape of this survey, where the headwaters of the Encampment River flow northward through steep canyons and mountain parks. This high-altitude terrain, straddling the Wyoming and Colorado state line, is heavily influenced by the drainage patterns of the Medicine Bow National Forest and Routt National Forest. Small mountain meadows like Willow Park, Hog Park, and Beaver Dam Park appear as clearings within the dense woodland, often serving as critical points of orientation for those navigating the rugged slopes.
