1961 Map of Cement Mtn.

About this map

Gunnison National Forest terrain dominates this 1961 survey, where the high-altitude landscape is carved by the Cement Creek and East River drainages. A seasonal settlement pattern is evident at the Cement Summer Home Group, while a Guard Station and the Grasshopper Park Campground indicate the mid-century recreational and administrative use of the forest. The Denver and Rio Grande Western RR follows the western river corridor, providing a critical transport link through the high country. In the interior, numerous unnamed springs and a specific Hot Spring suggest the geothermal activity common to the region. The map tracks a network of routes ranging from established tracks to pack trails and jeep trails that navigate landmarks such as Cement Mountain and Point Lookout, illustrating how the area was accessed before the expansion of modern highway systems.
