About this map

Colorado River corridors and high-country terrain define this 1970s survey of Eagle County. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the river's path, connecting the mountain settlements of Bond, Orestod, and State Bridge. This area serves as a critical transportation junction where rail lines and roads converge near the northern edge of the White River National Forest.

Topographic details reveal a landscape utilized for both infrastructure and extraction, evidenced by a Quarry and a network of jeep trails. Significant water features like Oxford Lake and Welsh Reservoir are interspersed among landmarks such as Windy Point and Horse Mountain. A lone Grave marked near the river and the small settlement of Olsen provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of this river-valley corridor.
