About this map

Maysville sits at the base of the towering Mount Shavano, serving as a focal point for this high-altitude landscape within the San Isabel National Forest. The settlement is positioned along the South Arkansas River, where a network of water management infrastructure including the Cameron Ditch, North Fork Ditch, and Missouri Park Ditch illustrates the vital role of irrigation and water rights in this valley. High-country landmarks such as Blank Cabin and the Angel of Shavano Campground provide points of interest for those tracing backcountry history.

Transportation through the peaks is defined by the storied Colorado Trail and the Mt Shavano Trail, which navigate a terrain carved by numerous drainages like Mill Gulch and Droney Gulch. Near the river, the Power House indicates the integration of utility and industry into the natural landscape. From the waters of Shavano Lake to the lower reaches of Pass Creek, the map details a region defined by the intersection of mountain recreation and agricultural water distribution.
