1964 Map of Lemon Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Lemon Reservoir dominates the lower reach of the Florida River valley in this mid-1960s survey of the San Juan National Forest. Captured shortly after the construction of Lemon Dam, the map illustrates a landscape transitioning for recreation and water management. High-altitude meadows known locally as parks, including Horse Thief Park, Kroeger Park, and Wallace Park, are scattered across the drainage basins of the Florida and its many tributaries like Waldner Creek and Miller Creek. The eastern ascent toward Miller Mountain and the western rise of Missionary Ridge frame the basin, while established sites like Bear Creek Campground and Transfer Park Campground show the forest's early developed infrastructure. The map records several drainage systems, such as Carbonate Basin and Stump Canyon, which are accessible primarily by Burnt Timber Road and various rugged tracks.
