1954 Map of Little Soap Park

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this mid-century topographic study, defined by the deep drainage of Soap Creek and its many converging gulches. The landscape reflects a mix of early 1950s land use, from recreational sites like the Commissary Gulch Campground and Soap Creek Campground to the industrial presence of a Uranium Mine located near Spring. High-elevation landmarks such as Pearson Point and VABM Oregon 10029 provide significant vertical relief over the basins of Little Soap Park. Evidence of early agricultural or ranching infrastructure is visible at the Sheep Pen and along the water management lines of the Plume Ditch. This 1954 field check captures the area's intricate network of Pack Trails and unimproved dirt roads that connected these high-country outposts before modern developments altered the access routes into the Dillon Mesa region.
