1965 Map of Trimble Point

About this map

The Dolores River winds through a landscape of deep canyons and high points in this mid-1960s survey of Montezuma County. This canyon-and-plateau terrain within the San Juan National Forest is defined by a network of water management features, including the Main Canal No 2 and numerous highland catchments such as Hoppe Point Res No 1 and Dunham Reservoir. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade running parallel to House Creek indicates the area's history of resource extraction or transportation, further evidenced by a Gravel Pit and a lone Oil Well near the riverbank. Landforms like Hoppe Point and Trimble Point offer significant elevation above the river valley, while cultural markers such as a small Cem near the Mc Phee Road provide specific points of interest for genealogical research.
