1979 Map of Battle Mountain

About this map

Battle Mountain dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape within the Arapaho National Forest, where the complex drainage systems of the Williams Fork and Battle Creek intersect. The terrain is marked by significant hydraulic features like the Big Lake Ditch, reflecting the importance of water management in this part of the Arapaho Mountains. A notable Landing Strip sits along the northern reaches near Williams Fork, providing a rare point of aviation access in an otherwise remote area accessed primarily by a network of Jeep Trails and pack trails. This survey reveals a landscape largely defined by its natural topography and resource extraction, indicated by Gravel Pits and named summits such as Williams Peak and Jessmer.
