1961 Map of Shoshone

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Colorado River carves deeply through Glenwood Canyon in this topographic record, which captures the area's vital role in Western infrastructure. Industrial activity centers on the Shoshone Dam and Shoshone Powerplant, where water is managed and harnessed alongside the critical route of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. Beyond the canyon walls, the White River National Forest reveals a landscape of high alpine waters and family history. Researchers can find the Hopkins Homestead tucked away in the southern reaches, while the terrain is dotted with notable natural landmarks such as Hanging Lake and Bridal Veil Falls. The map also traces an extensive network of jeep trails and telephone lines that connect remote outposts like Allen and high-altitude water sources including Hopkins Reservoir and Consolidated Reservoir.
