1963 Map of Wetmore

About this map

Wetmore and Greenwood anchor the landscape of this mid-century survey along the eastern edge of the San Isabel National Forest. The topography is defined by the complex drainage systems of Hardscrabble Creek, which splits into North, Middle, and South branches as it cuts through the terrain. The area shows a transition from small settlements and agricultural sites like the Don K Ranch to the more primitive recreational and forestry land to the west. Cultural markers such as the Florence Picnic Area and family-named landmarks like Bohn Gulch and Watson Gulch indicate the local human footprint on this drainage basin. Notable elevations including Bears Head, Big Red Butte, and Little Red Butte stand as significant navigational points, while the Highline Trail and Rudolph Mtn Trail suggest the established routes used by foresters and early outdoorsmen.
