1983 Map of Nathrop
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Nathrop and Centerville anchor this mountain corridor where the high plains meet the eastern edge of the San Isabel National Forest. The landscape is dominated by the Arkansas River as it carves through Browns Canyon, a geological feature flanked by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. This rail line and the nearby Hecla Junction speak to the region's historical role as a transit and shipping hub for local industry. The map captures a detailed inventory of the area's geography, from the volcanic rise of Ruby Mtn to the numerous watercourses like Chalk Creek and Raspberry Gulch. For genealogists and local historians, the inclusion of the Centerville Cem and various gravel pits and mining prospects provides specific points of interest for tracing the early industrial and community footprint in Chaffee County.
