1961 Map of Cement Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this 1961 survey, where the peaks of Cement Mountain and East Cement Mountain overlook a landscape shaped by early water management and alpine recreation. The Cement Summer Home Group and a nearby Guard Station mark the primary human presence along the winding path of Cement Creek. Geologic and industrial history is evident in the western portion of the sheet, where an abandoned Railroad Grade runs parallel to the East River, tracing the route of former transportation corridors through the high country. Resource management is further highlighted by the Old No 1 Ditch, a testament to the complex irrigation and water rights systems required in this environment. From the steep slopes of Strand Hill to the expansive Granite Basin, the map preserves a detailed record of the trails and gulches that defined this part of Colorado before late-twentieth-century developments.
