1954 Map of Little Soap Park

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, characterized by a complex network of steep gulches and high meadows. The central drainage of Soap Creek serves as a primary axis, flanked by features like Little Soap Park and the prominent Pearson Point. This 1954 field check captures the area during a period of active resource exploration and recreational development, indicated by the presence of a Uranium Mine tucked between Uranium Mine and Cow Creek. Local infrastructure for outdoorsmen and livestock is evident through the placement of the Soap Creek Campground, Commissary Gulch Campground, and a Sheep Pen located near a natural Saddle. The drainage patterns, including Curecanti Creek and Coal Creek, illustrate the intricate watershed management within the national forest boundary before modern developments altered these remote corridors.
