1955 Map of The Meadows

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, characterized by a complex network of high-elevation reservoirs and drainage systems. The map details the transition from the distinct plateaus of Kirkendall Flats and Swede Flats into the higher reaches of The Flat Tops. This area was critical for seasonal livestock grazing and water management, evidenced by the presence of Leon Cow Camp and several high-country impoundments like Anderson Bros Res, Labbe Res, and McKelvie Res. The drainage pattern is exceptionally intricate, with numerous Beaver Ponds along Leon Creek and its many tributaries, including Park Creek and Young Creek. Notable landmarks like Bogue Mountain and Campbell Mountain overlook the broad basin known as The Meadows, where a Gaging Sta monitored the flow of Plateau Creek.
