1964 Map of Henderson Ridge

About this map

Brush Mountain and the high elevations of Horse Ridge dominate this mid-1960s survey of the Colorado backcountry. The landscape is defined by its verticality, where prominent features like Bear Point and Chimney Rock Point overlook a network of seasonal water sources such as Elk Horn Spring and Poverty Spring. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the Altenbern Ranch and the isolated Middle Ranch, suggesting a region primarily utilized for livestock grazing.
