1961 Map of Ruedi

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Fryingpan River drainage dominates this high-altitude landscape in the early 1960s, just before the valley underwent significant topographical changes. The small settlement of Ruedi sits along the river near the northern edge of the White River National Forest, a terrain of steep gulches and high peaks like Ford Peak and Larkspur Mountain. The map documents a network of primitive transportation, including numerous stretches of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail that provided access to remote areas like Kobey Park and Cow Camp. Notable water management and recreational features appear throughout the valley, including the Salvation Ditch and the Rocky Fork Campground, alongside a Gaging Sta and Footbridge over the river. This survey captures the characteristic mountain economy of the era, where timber, water rights, and rugged accessibility defined the transition from early ranching and mining to modern recreation and water storage.
