1950 Map of Woodside

About this map

Woodside stands at the southern edge of this mid-century landscape, positioned where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad crosses the winding Price River. The map documents a rugged high-desert economy defined by isolated outposts and industrial extraction, most notably at the Geneva Coal Mine nestled within Horse Canyon. To the west, the topography transitions from the dramatic cliffs of The Cove to a series of dry washes such as Humbug Wash and Neversweat Wash.
