1964 Map of Baldy Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The San Juan National Forest high country in southwestern Colorado is defined here by a network of springs, pack trails, and high-altitude mining claims. A rugged landscape of ridges and basins, the area around Baldy Mountain was actively worked by miners mid-century, as evidenced by the Medicine Mine, Columbine Mine, and the Shamrock Mines. The distribution of dozens of individual water sources, such as Moonlick Spring No 1 and Uncle Charlie Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable water for livestock and mineral extraction in this arid terrain.
