1966 Map of Rifle Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

White River National Forest defines the canyon-carved landscape of this Garfield County survey, focusing on the essential water management and recreation systems along East Rifle Creek. The mid-1960s state of these resources is documented, from the high-elevation Coulter Mesa and the tiny settlement at Coulter down to the critical infrastructure of the Rifle Falls Fish Hatchery. Significant human activity is clustered along the valley floors, where the Rifle Falls State Recreation Area and Rifle Gap State Recreation Area provide public access to the Rifle Gap Reservoir. Industrial and social markers, such as a Gravel Pit, various Prospects, and a Community Building near Sawmill, reveal how local residents utilized the terrain's natural resources for both livelihood and community life.
