1961 Map of Anthracite Range

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in the early 1960s, defined by the sharp rise of the Anthracite Range and East Beckwith Mtn. The map reveals a wilderness area organized around high passes and seasonal usage, where the only signs of human activity are the Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that connect remote outposts like the Castle Creek Cow Camp. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive geological features such as The Dyke and the steep contours of Storm Ridge. Water resources are concentrated in small mountain basins, including Lost Lake, Dollar Lake, and Sheep Lake, while the Lost Lake Campground suggests the area's role for recreation within the forest. Significant gaps in the ridgelines, such as Beckwith Pass and Swampy Pass, provide the primary navigable routes through this complex vertical terrain.
