1957 Map of Wolf Creek Pass

About this map

The Continental Divide snake-like path through the high peaks of the San Juan National Forest defines the hydrology of this mid-century topographic study. The drainage systems of the West Fork and East Fork San Juan Rivers dominate the valley floors, where a distinct pattern of private ranching is established. Named properties such as At Last Ranch, Three Meadows Ranch, and Saddleback Ranch are situated along the river corridors, indicating the agricultural and residential footprint before later-century development.
