1957 Map of Wolf Creek Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The high-altitude drainage of the West Fork San Juan River and its surrounding peaks define this mid-century survey of the southern Colorado Rockies. Located along the Continental Divide, the area was a center for high-country ranching and timber activity, evidenced by established homesteads like West Fork Ranch and Three Meadows Ranch. The landscape is dominated by the massive relief of Treasure Mountain and Blackhead Peak, with the road network reflecting the challenges of the terrain. The Wolf Creek Highway Maintenance Camp and Silver Falls Guard Station mark the essential infrastructure needed to manage this portion of the San Juan National Forest. Near the southern edge, the Red Ryder Rodeo Grounds and a Sawmill point to the local cultural and economic life on the outskirts of the mountains during the 1950s.
