1963 Map of Hermosa

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor anchors this 1963 survey of the Animas River valley, tracing the narrow passage through Rockwood and south toward Hermosa. This rail-and-river landscape is defined by its water management and early transit routes, featuring the Consolidated Ditch and the Reid Ditch which served the agricultural needs of the valley floor. To the east, the steep ascent of Missionary Ridge looms over the valley, while the western reaches of the San Juan National Forest are marked by a network of historic paths including the Stony Gulch Trail and Jones Creek Trail. Local history is preserved in landmarks such as the Hermosa Cem and the Baker Bridge crossing, while industrial activity is noted through scattered prospect sites and a quarry near the northern rail line.
