1927 Map of Glenwood Springs

About this map

Glenwood Springs sits at the confluence of major western Colorado waterways, serving as a hub for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad in the 1920s. This survey, conducted by B.A. Jenkins and S.T. Penick, details a transition from the industrial activity at Cardiff and the Shoshone Power Plant to the high-country wilderness of the White River Nat For. The map reveals the early logistical network of the forest service, marking the Sweetwater and Deep L ranger stations alongside remote landmarks like Hip Roof Cabin.
