1963 Map of Chair Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Jacobs Ranch and Volk Ranch stand as isolated outposts in this high-elevation landscape on the border of the Gunnison National Forest and White River National Forest. The 1963 survey, with photorevisions from 1978, illustrates a transition from the drainage of Muddy Creek and East Muddy Creek in the west toward the precipitous heights of The Raggeds in the southeast. Prominent peaks like Chair Mtn and Ragged Peak dominate the topography, framing the Buck Creek Basin. Water management for high-country utility is evident in the Tomahawk Ditch which feeds into Tomahawk Reservoir. The map tracks a network of rugged transportation routes, including several unnamed Trails, Pack Trails, and Jeep Trails that negotiate the steep terrain between Chair Creek and the Crystal River valley.
