About this map

Cebolla Creek bisects this high-elevation landscape, carving a deep valley through the center of the quadrangle while serving as a primary corridor for early settlement. The map documents the scattered rural infrastructure of the early 1960s, notably the Sammons Ranch and Jardine Ranch to the north, and the Youmans Ranch further south. Genealogists may find interest in the Powderhorn Cem located near the confluence of West Fork Powderhorn Creek and Dry Powderhorn Creek.

The terrain is defined by prominent high points like Rudolph Hill and Miller Hill, with deep incisions such as Fish Canyon and East Dempsey Gulch creating a complex drainage network. Evidence of early resource exploration is found at various Prospects throughout the hills. Water sources are meticulously noted, including the alpine Hidden Lake and several Springs tucked into the gulches of Swinehart Ridge.
