About this map

The Rio Grande winds through this mid-1960s landscape, marking the transition between the valley floor and the wooded slopes of the Rio Grande National Forest. The prominent landmark of Indian Head overlooks the river corridor, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad parallels the water's path through the small settlement of Hanna. The map illustrates a landscape of working water and infrastructure, featuring the State Bridge, a Gaging Sta, and multiple water sources like Old Woman Creek and Pinos Cr.

A network of drainage systems including English Valley, West Branch, and East Branch flow toward the river, while human activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits and the Town Ponds. The presence of the Saguache Co Rio Grande Co boundary line and various Spring and Well sites provides specific points of interest for those tracking historical property lines and local landmarks in this corner of Colorado.
