Re: Logging Along the Denver & Rio Grande

I wanted to show the overlay of the Howard & Hallack Lumber Company and the Denver & Rio Grande at La Madera, New Mexico. Here is that overlay, and thought I would post it here rather than make a new post on the forum. I have come a long ways over the last year on my project of tracing the logging operations along the Denver & Rio Grande Narrow Gauge.
We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
