1983 Map of Maysville

About this map

Mount Shavano anchors the high-altitude terrain of the San Isabel National Forest in this early 1980s landscape. The settlement of Maysville sits along the Arkansas River, serving as a focal point for the complex water management system of the era. A network of irrigation channels and water transport features, including the Weldon Ditch, Hoosier Ditch, and the Denver and Rio Grande Western Aqueduct, highlights the critical role of water rights in this mountainous region. Industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Mine and Prospects labels, while recreational development is shown via the Angel of Shavano Campground and the Picnic Area. The presence of the Denver and Rio Grande Western Arkansas River corridor illustrates the historical integration of rail infrastructure with the natural river valley.
