1967 Map of South Fork West

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Rio Grande and its confluence with the South Fork anchor this mountain landscape, which was meticulously mapped by the U.S. Forest Service in the late 1960s. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the river's path, serving the riverside settlements of South Fork and Baxterville. This area is defined by its recreation and forestry infrastructure, including Masonic Park, the South Fork Campgrounds, and the Alder Guard Station. Beyond the valley floor, the terrain rises into the Rio Grande National Forest, marked by deep drainages like Haney Canyon and Poison Gulch. The map captures a high-country network of pack trails and jeep trails that connect isolated landmarks such as Riverside Ranch and Elk Ranch, providing a clear look at the intersection of early mountain ranching and modern federal land management.
