1962 Map of Storm King Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Storm King Mountain and the massive uplift of the Grand Hogback dominate this landscape, where the Colorado River cuts a deep path through the canyon country of Garfield County. The corridor along the river serves as the primary artery for transportation, carrying the tracks of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad. Evidence of early settlement and industry is scattered through the drainages, including the Canyon Creek Sch and small extraction sites like Mina and other unnamed mines tucked into the ridges. To the south, the Garfield Creek State Wildlife Area encompasses the rugged basins around Horse Mountain and Alkali Creek. The map reflects a mid-century transition in land use, featuring legacy structures like Okafelia Lodge alongside water management infrastructure such as Porter Reservoir and several named ditches that divert snowmelt from the high peaks to the valley floor.
