About this map

Glenwood Springs sits at a critical geographic junction where the Colorado River meets the steep walls of Glenwood Canyon. This 2019 survey captures the modern complexity of the city's infrastructure, showing the Garfield County Courthouse and the nearby Colorado Mountain College Glenwood Springs. The map documents a dense network of recreational trails that define the local lifestyle, from the Rio Grande Trail following the river corridor to the Jeanne Golay Trail and Boy Scout Trail climbing into the surrounding peaks.

South of the main city center, the settlement of Cardiff and the Glenwood Springs Municipal Airport occupy the flatter terrain near Three-mile Creek. The transition from urban center to the protected wilderness of the White River National Forest is immediate, with landmarks like Lookout Mtn and Windy Point overlooking the valley. Cultural sites like Rosebud Cem and the small community of No Name provide points of interest for those tracing local development and land use patterns in this part of Garfield County.
