1963 Map of Hermosa

Tracing the landscape reveals a series of water management and industrial markers, including a Gaging Sta on the river and a Quarry near the base of the cliffs. Local genealogy is anchored by the Hermosa Cem, while the rugged geography is defined by numerous drainages like Hermosa Creek and Elbert Creek feeding into the main valley. High-altitude basins are marked by several small water bodies, including Shalona Lake and the Mitchell Lakes.
