About this map

Williams Fork River carves through the high mountain landscape of the Arapaho National Forest in this 1933 survey. The terrain is defined by the massive Williams Fork Mountains and prominent summits like Ute Peak, Williams Peak, and Old Baldy. Early 20th-century water management is evident through the presence of the Johnson Ditch and Sylvan Reservoir in the northern reaches of the quadrangle.

Remote settlements and educational hubs of the era are documented at Ute Park and Leal, supported by a network of rural schools including Columbine Sch, Hermosa Sch, Willow View Sch, and Ute Park Sch. Forest management and logistics are marked by the Horseshoe Ranger Sta and Slate Creek Ranger Sta, while the Blue Ridge Trail suggests the early recreational and utility paths crossing the Blue Ridge.
