1962 Map of Edwards
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Eagle River valley life centers on the mountain corridor of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR in this early 1960s study, later updated to reflect the beginnings of modern infrastructure. The map captures the agricultural and early residential character of Edwards and Avon before the massive expansion of the ski industry. Water management for the valley is extensively documented through an intricate system of gravity-fed irrigation, including Metcalf Ditch, Puder Ditch, and Creamery Ditch. Educational and civic foundations are represented by the Lake Creek Sch and various utility sites like a Substation and Weather Station. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into the White River National Forest, where pack trails and jeep tracks navigate the slopes of Red and White Mountain and the high plateaus of Rock Creek Park.
