1969 Map of Blacktail Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Pleasant Valley serves as the central drainage for this section of the Routt National Forest during the late 1960s, where the Yampa River meanders through a landscape defined by significant elevation changes. This survey provides a record of early water management and recreational development in the region, featuring the Suttle Ditch in the north and several streams such as Grouse Creek, Harrison Creek, and Service Creek feeding the river valley. The map is particularly useful for identifying the specific locations of the Ferndale Picnic Area and Harrison Creek Picnic Area, along with topographic landmarks like Blacktail Mountain and Woodchuck Hill. For those studying land use, the presence of a Gaging Sta along the river and various Jeep Trails provides evidence of how this high-country terrain was managed and accessed before more modern developments took root.
