1964 Map of Baldy Mountain

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape along the border of La Plata and Archuleta counties, where a complex network of springs and canyons supported early 20th-century ranching and mining. Cattlemen and prospectors left their mark on the terrain with sites like Shamrock Ranch and the nearby Shamrock Mines. The abundance of water sources, from Frying Pan Spring to Moonlick Spring No 1, highlights the critical importance of reliable water for livestock in the high meadows.
