1961 Map of Chalk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Chalk Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude plateaus of the Grand Mesa National Forest and Gunnison National Forest define this landscape during the early 1960s. The map reveals an intricate network of water management features, including unusually named reservoirs like Skimmed Milk Res, Dogfish Reservoir, and Holy Terror Res. These high-country pools, many connected by the Overland Ditch, suggest a complex history of irrigation and livestock water management on the mesa tops.
