1948 Map of Woodside

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Woodside sits at the base of a dramatic geological divide where the high plateaus meet the river valley in this 1948 survey. The settlement is a vital stop for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, featuring a Po and Cem that speak to the small community's permanence during the mid-century. To the north, industrial activity is centered around the Geneva Coal Mine at the mouth of Horse Canyon, illustrating the era's reliance on the region's mineral wealth. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Price River, which carves through a series of washes like Humbug Wash and Summerville Wash. Ranching life is evidenced by the Silvagni Ranch, while water management for this arid climate is visible through features like the Kiahtipes Reservoir and Coon Spring.
