About this map

Ruedi Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Colorado high-country survey, held back by the Ruedi Dam along the Fryingpan River. The map details a rugged drainage network where Bear Creek and Rocky Fork Creek feed the reservoir from the south, while the Salvation Ditch indicates the management of alpine water resources for the region.

Industrial and recreational activities appear side-by-side, from the Company Mine on the slopes of Porphyry Mountain Mines to the camping areas at Rocky Fork Campground and Freeman Mesa Campground. High-elevation landmarks like Vagneur Mountain and Larkspur Mountain rise above the small settlement of Lenado, providing a clear look at the network of forest roads and ways, including Kobey Park Rd and Casaday Ways, that connect these remote peaks and camps.
