2001 Map of Wagon Wheel Gap

About this map

Rio Grande waters flow through this mountain landscape at the dawn of the twenty-first century, carving a path alongside the settlement of Wagon Wheel Gap. This territory is defined by the expansive Rio Grande National Forest, where a network of waterways including Farmers Creek, Bellows Creek, and Goose Creek descend from high-altitude features like Silver Park and Blue Park. The map documents localized history through landmarks such as a lonely Grave and a Gaging Station near the river, signaling the importance of water management in this high-country environment.
