2016 Map of Hot Sulphur Springs

About this map

The town of Hot Sulphur Springs serves as the focal point of this survey, situated at a strategic bend where the Colorado River enters the narrow corridor of Byers Canyon. The town's grid, including Grand St and Byers Ave, sits just west of the Hot Sulphur Springs Cem, illustrating the community's established footprint in the Middle Park basin. To the north and south, the landscape is defined by irrigation and water management features like Dennis Ditch, the Jones High-Line Ditch, and Huntington Reservoir, which support the high-altitude ranching and agricultural lands of Big Meadows. Significant elevation changes are marked by Mt Bross and Mt Chauncey, while the southern portion of the sheet transition into the protected lands of the Arapaho National Forest. This network of ditches and reservoirs highlights the vital role of water rights and engineering in sustaining this mountain settlement.
