1955 Map of The Meadows

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, where high-altitude livestock management and water resources are meticulously documented. The terrain is defined by dramatic plateaus and grazing grounds like Kirkendall Flats and Sheep Flats, centered around seasonal operations such as Leon Cow Camp. Water management is a primary theme of the sheet, visible through an extensive network of reservoirs and diversions, including Anderson Bros Res, Labbe Res, and McKelvie Res, along with several Beaver Ponds and a Gaging Sta located near the northern mountain slopes.
