1969 Map of Glade Park

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Glade Park and the surrounding high desert plateau are defined by a complex network of canyons and water management features captured during this 1960s survey. The landscape transitions from the residential cluster and Cem in the north toward the expansive Colorado National Monument boundary. Significant infrastructure for livestock and irrigation is evident in the presence of Schrader Reservoir, King Reservoir, and the Thompson Ditch, which redirect water across the arid terrain. The map records several distinctive geological formations and steep access routes, including Monument Rock, the Face, and the winding Jacobs Ladder trail. These features highlight the challenge of navigating the deep incisions of No Thoroughfare Canyon and Ladder Canyon, while named points like Clarks Bench provide orientation across the broad upland expanses.
