1967 Map of Bowers Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The La Garita Mountains dominate this high-altitude section of the Rio Grande National Forest in Saguache County. Rising to peaks such as Bowers Peak and Boot Mountain, the landscape is defined by its network of historic stock driveways and seasonal watercourses. The presence of the Laughlin Stock Driveway (Jeep) and the La Garita Stock Driveway (Pack) indicates the area's legacy of high-country grazing and seasonal livestock movement through the rugged pass at Moon Pass. Numerous drainages, including South Fork Carnero Creek and La Garita Creek, flow from these summits, providing essential water sources in the semi-arid San Juan range. The map details a complex web of transport for its time, including the Perry Pack Trail and several unpaved routes like California Gulch, which suggest the area's ongoing use for forestry, ranching, and remote access.
