About this map

The Arkansas River carves a path through the valley at Salida, where the town's street grid meets the rising slopes of the San Isabel National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the residential blocks of Salida to the steep gulches and peaks that dominate the horizon. Notable landmarks like Tenderfoot Hill overlook the settlement, while the river basin serves as a corridor for Us 50 E and historical routes through the canyon.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant value in the documentation of the Cleora Cem and Woodlawn Cem, located along the southern reaches of the river. The topography is exceptionally detailed, naming dozens of drainage features such as Dead Goat Gulch and Tombstone Gulch, as well as high points like Rick Mountain and Big Baldy Mountain. The presence of the Dodsworth Airport and various mountain springs, including Ankele Spring and Black Diamond Spring, provides insight into the logistical and natural resources of this Chaffee County hub.
