1969 Map of Glade Park

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Glade Park transitions from the high plateaus of Clarks Bench into a complex network of drainage basins and canyons during the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by its water management and distinct landmarks, including the prominent Monument Rock and various high-altitude water sources like Monument Spr and Thrailkill Spring. Several reservoirs, such as Schrader Reservoir, Gobbo Reservoir, and King Reservoir, reflect the area's agricultural and livestock requirements. Local travel routes are marked by steep transitions, most notably the winding path of Jacobs Ladder and numerous Jeep Trails that navigate the ridges between Miller Canyon and the deep cut of No Thoroughfare Canyon. A small Cem in the north and the Thompson Ditch system indicate the long-standing human efforts to inhabit and irrigate this arid corner of the Colorado plateau.
