1969 Map of Bear Creek

About this map

Greenhorn Mountain and the eastern slopes of the Wet Mountains dominate this 1969 topographic survey, revealing a landscape defined by deep drainage basins and remote access. Much of the area is protected within the San Isabel National Forest, where the complex hydrology of the North Fork and South Fork of the Bear Creek drainage systems is meticulously mapped. The presence of Prospects north of Sheep Mountain suggests early mineral exploration in these high-altitude canyons.
