1967 Map of Bowers Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

La Garita Mountains define this high-altitude landscape within the Rio Grande National Forest, where 1960s mapping efforts recorded a network of critical movement corridors. The area is characterized by high peaks such as Bowers Peak and Boot Mountain, separated by drainage systems like South Fork Carnero Creek and La Garita Creek. Of particular interest to local historians and researchers is the prominence of historic stock routes. The La Garita Stock Driveway (Pack) and the Laughlin Stock Driveway illustrate the seasonal movement of livestock through Moon Pass and across La Garita Park. These pathways, alongside numerous Pack Trails and Jeep Trails, represent a specialized mountain economy where traditional ranching practices utilized the high country's summer grazing lands before modern forest management shifted these patterns.
