1963 Map of Wetmore

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Wetmore serves as the focal point of this rural Custer County landscape, situated where the high plains meet the eastern slopes of the Front Range. The map illustrates a transition from the agricultural surroundings of Fourmile Creek to the dense, protected terrain of the San Isabel National Forest. Local history is preserved in the naming of numerous drainages and landforms, including North Hardscrabble Creek and the distinctive Bears Head. The presence of the Highline Trail and Rudolph Mtn Trail suggests a network of early mountain access routes established long before modern development. Small-scale ranching and industry are evidenced by the Don K Ranch and a local Gravel Pit, while the nearby settlement of Greenwood anchors the western portion of the survey area. The intricate topography of Bad Canyon and Soda Gulch highlights the complex watershed that feeds the regional river systems.
