About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a path through the Stonewall Valley in this survey of southern Colorado, where the transition from high plains to the Sangre de Cristo foothills is marked by distinct geological boundaries. The settlement of Stonewall sits at the junction of the river and the Middle Fork, serving as a gateway to the San Isabel National Forest. This era shows a landscape managed for both water resources and recreation, featuring a network of infrastructure including an aqueduct, a ditch, and a Filtration Plant near Coal Creek.

Water management is prominent, with several named reservoirs and natural lakes such as North Lake, South Lake, and the large Monument Lake. Cultural landmarks like the Stonewall Cem and Monument Park Campground reflect the area's dual identity as a local community and a destination for outdoor life. Significant land divisions are noted by the Grant Boundary crossing Cherry Creek, illustrating the complex history of land tenure in the region.
