1983 Map of Gribbles Park

About this map

Gribbles Park and the surrounding high-altitude drainage basins define this portion of the Colorado landscape along the Park and Fremont County border. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and mining environment during the late twentieth century, centered around water sources like Suckerville Spring and the Everett Cow Camp. The presence of numerous Prospect locations and a Mine suggests continued interest in the mineral potential of the area, while the San Isabel National Forest boundary marks the transition into protected lands. Navigation through this drainage-cut terrain is facilitated by primitive routes, including the Ute Trail and various Jeep Trails, which follow the natural contours carved by Wagon Tongue Creek and Badger Creek. The hydrology is particularly detailed, noting specialized features like Steer Mud Spring and Mud Spring alongside Gribbles Run.
