1961 Map of Ruedi Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Fryingpan River corridor serves as the primary focal point of this Colorado survey, captured just as the Ruedi Reservoir and its associated infrastructure were establishing their footprint in the White River National Forest. The landscape is a complex network of high peaks and drainage basins, including Vagneur Mountain and Ford Peak, separated by deep cuts like Red Canyon. Evidence of early land use and local industry appears via a Cow Camp, a remote Cem, and the presence of the Salvation Ditch along the lower reaches of Woody Creek. The transition from a wilderness and ranching economy to one of water management and utility is marked by the Power Plant and Gaging Sta situated below the dam. High-altitude meadows such as Kobey Park contrast with the rugged descents of Rocky Fork Creek and Snyder Gulch, while a web of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates the limited transit routes available during the late twentieth century.
