1967 Map of Swede Corners

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Red Rock Canyon and the surrounding peaks of the San Luis Valley dominate the western landscape of this mid-century survey, giving way to an intricate network of water management features on the valley floor. The map highlights the high-desert hydrology of the region, from the natural Russell Springs to the engineered Rio Grande Canal and various pipelines that sustain the local ecology and agriculture. The eastern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the Russell Lakes complex, featuring a series of named bodies such as Trites Lake, Davey Lake, and Johnson Lake. A Fish Hatchery near the center of the sheet and the straight trajectory of Gunbarrel Road reflect the area's development. Local history is anchored at Swede Corners, while numerous flowing wells and gravel pits illustrate the intersection of natural resources and rural settlement patterns.
