1961 Map of Cement Mountain

About this map

Gunnison National Forest dominates this high-altitude survey, where the valley floor of the East River gives way to steep drainages and peaks. In the early 1960s, this area served as a focal point for seasonal recreation and forest management, anchored by the Cement Summer Home Group and a nearby Guard Station along Cement Creek. A network of pack trails, including the Deadman Gulch Pack Trail, suggests a landscape accessible primarily by foot or horse, while a Railroad Grade along the river reflects the region's industrial past. The topography is defined by significant elevations such as Cement Mountain and East Cement Mountain, which overlook numerous gulches and basins like Horse Basin and Rosebud Gulch. Natural landmarks such as a Hot Spring and Point Lookout provide clear points of reference for those navigating this remote mountain terrain.
