1965 Map of Squirrel Creek

About this map

Gunnison National Forest and the West Elk Wilderness dominate this mid-century landscape, where rugged terrain meets a sophisticated network of high-altitude water management. The map documents an intricate system of irrigation including the Eilebrecht Ditch, Stratman Ditch, and Highline Ditch, which redirect snowmelt across the slopes. This infrastructure supported local ranching and mining efforts long after the peak of the mountain booms.
