1968 Map of Basin Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Basin Mountain and the high ridges of La Plata County define this landscape, where the southern reaches of the San Juan Mountains meet the Animas River valley. The map documents a rugged terrain dominated by deeply incised drainages like Black Water Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Sawmill Canyon. Settlement is sparse, concentrated near the small community of La Posta in the southeast, where the river serves as the primary corridor for movement and water management.
