1962 Map of Bears Ears Peaks

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Routt National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape, where the Elkhead Mountains rise to distinctive points like Bears Ears Peaks and Columbus Mountain. The area is marked by a network of drainage systems feeding into Slater Creek and Elkhead Creek, creating deep basins such as Slater Park and Adams Park. This 1962 survey reveals a remote backcountry accessible primarily by Jeep Trails, supporting seasonal forestry and grazing activities rather than permanent settlements. The presence of the California Park Guard Station near California Creek suggests the administrative importance of the region for land management. Unique geographic features like Hole-in-the-Wall and Saddle Mountain punctuate the ridges, while various tributaries like Jakodowski Creek and Grizzly Creek carve through the timbered slopes.
