1963 Map of Thompson Park

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Thompson Park sits at the intersection of high alpine peaks and agricultural valley floors along the border of Montezuma and La Plata counties. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape shaped by early transportation and local utility, where an Old Railroad Grade and the Navajo Trail traverse the base of the La Plata Mountains. The local community is anchored by the Thompson Park Sch and Thompson Park Cem, while the rugged northern half of the sheet is dominated by the San Juan National Forest and high-altitude landmarks like Menefee Peak and Caviness Mountain. Water management is central to the area's layout, evidenced by numerous named draws such as Deadman Gulch and Alkali Gulch, alongside essential irrigation works like the Spansel Reservoir and Cottonwood Reservoir.
