About this map

Glenwood Springs serves as the eastern anchor of this mountain landscape, where the Colorado River carves a path through the steep terrain of the Grand Hogback. The 2019 survey documents a complex system of water management essential for high-altitude survival and agriculture, featuring the Mings Chenoweth and Wolverton Ditch, Valean Ditch, and the Barton Porter Reservoir. These human-made interventions trace the base of prominent landmarks like Storm King Mtn and Horse Mtn.

The settlement of Chacra sits along the transit corridor following the river, overshadowed by the massive Coal Ridge. For those interested in the natural and recreational history of Garfield County, the map identifies the South Canyon Hot Springs and rugged paths like the Storm King Trail and Keyser Creek Trail. This modern topographic study provides an exact record of property divisions and township lines, including t5s r90w and t6s r89w, during a period of continued western expansion.
