About this map

Henderson Ridge and Brush Mountain dominate this landscape, characterized by a complex network of high mesas and deep drainage basins in Colorado. The 1964 topography reveals a landscape organized around vital water sources, with numerous named springs such as Franklin Spring, Kaiser Spring, and Henderson Spring providing essential resources for the area. The Altenbern Ranch stands as a primary point of human settlement, connected to the broader region by historical routes including the Pack Trail and the Ute Trail (Pack).

A sequential series of water sources—First Water Spring through Fourth Water Spring—lines the terrain near Bear Gulch, suggesting a historical importance for livestock or travel through these canyons. The presence of Prospects near the Ridge indicates early mineral interest, while features like Chimney Rock Point and Bear Point served as distinct natural landmarks for those navigating the Roan Canyon area.
