About this map

Glenwood Canyon dominates this 2019 survey, where the Colorado River carves through the landscape of the White River National Forest. The map provides detailed topography for the small settlement of Shoshone, a location defined by its hydroelectric infrastructure and river proximity. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward the iconic Hanging Lake and Bridal Veil Falls, illustrating the vertical complexity of the canyon walls.

Evidence of the region's recreational and industrial history is scattered throughout the high country, including the subterranean Hubbard Cave and the water management sites of Hopkins Reservoir and Ralston Reservoir Number 1. The map also captures the transition from the river corridor to the southern uplands of Spring Valley and High Aspen Mesa, documenting the complex network of forest roads and gulches that define this portion of Garfield County.
