1962 Map of Eagle

About this map

The town of Eagle serves as the central hub of this survey, situated where the Brush Creek valley meets the corridor of the Red Canyon and Eagle River. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Greenhorn Mountain and the complex drainage systems of numerous gulches and creeks, including Skillman Gulch, Hockett Gulch, and Abrams Creek. Transportation infrastructure is highly visible, with the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad paralleling the river, while a network of water management features like Noecker Reservoir and various unnamed ditches indicate the region's reliance on irrigation. Local roads and landmarks such as Wilkinson and Mathews provide specific points of reference for genealogists tracing family land holdings in the early 1960s, prior to later 20th-century expansions.
