1959 Map of Black Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Waugh Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape where the Park and Fremont County line meets the rugged peaks of central Colorado. The map documents a working landscape of high-altitude ranching, characterized by family-named properties like the V V N Ranch, H Taylor Ranch, and Russell Ranch scattered among the gulches and peaks. A lone educational landmark, the Tallahassee School, sits in the southeast, serving the isolated ranching community. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Thirtyone Mile Creek and Mill Gulch cutting through the terrain, while the Pike National Forest boundary marks the northern transition into protected timberlands. The presence of Yellow Soda Spring and numerous unnamed springs suggests the importance of water sources in this high-country environment, where Jeep Trails provide the primary means of navigating the steep elevation changes between Hammond Peak and Long Table Mountain.
