1954 Map of Little Soap Park

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, where a network of watercourses like Soap Creek and Cow Creek carve through the high terrain of Gunnison County. The 1954 field check reveals a remote area defined by seasonal ranching and the burgeoning atomic era, evidenced by the Uranium Mine located north of Oregon Gulch. Resource management and recreation are central to the area's character, with the Soap Creek Campground and Commissary Gulch Campground established alongside established ranching features like the Sheep Pen and Saddle.
