1963 Map of Bull Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Gunnison National Forest high country is documented here during the early 1960s, showing a landscape defined by seasonal ranching and early resource extraction. Named ranching sites like the Harry Parker Place and Hotchkiss Sheep Camp indicate the grazing patterns of the era, while the isolated Gas Well near North Fork Henderson Creek signals the arrival of industrial interests in the backcountry. A network of pack trails and primitive roads connects these outposts across the high-altitude terrain of Buck Mesa and Bar K Basin. Water management is prominent through features like Aspen Leaf Reservoir and Ault Reservoir, which served the livestock and agricultural needs of the surrounding valleys. The map also captures curiously named landmarks like Condemn It Park, providing specific points of interest for local historians and genealogists tracing early twentieth-century land use.
