About this map

The Arkansas River corridor serves as the primary artery of development on this 2016 survey, where the river winds southeast from Salida toward the small settlement of Cleora. The transition from the urban grid of Salida, featuring streets like E Rainbow Blvd and Park Ave, to the more dispersed homesteads near the San Isabel National Forest is clearly visible. Genealogists will find the Woodlawn Cem and Cleora Cem as key points of interest for local family history research.

To the north and east, the landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainages and peaks, including Tenderfoot Hill and Big Baldy Mtn. Many of these features carry evocative local names like Dead Goat Gulch, Tombstone Gulch, and Loco Ridge. The presence of the Dodsworth Airport and the historic Ute Trl illustrates the evolution of travel through this high-altitude valley, from traditional pathways to modern aviation.
