1957 Map of Hot Sulphur Springs

About this map

Hot Sulphur Springs serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated where the Colorado River cuts through the steep walls of Byers Canyon. The town’s relationship with the river and the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad is central to the area's development, providing a corridor through the high-elevation terrain of the Arapaho National Forest. To the south, the recently completed Williams Fork Reservoir dominates the drainage of the Williams Fork, reflecting significant water management changes in the Upper Colorado River Basin.
