1964 Map of Chris Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines the character of this mid-1960s landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features supports high-elevation ranching and forestry. The terrain is marked by significant mesas and canyons, including Brockover Mesa and Dunagan Canyon, with drainage flowing toward Devil Creek. The map documents a specialized infrastructure of small-scale reservoirs such as Sawmill Reservoir, Gopher Reservoir, and Newt Jack Spring Reservoir, likely used for livestock or fire suppression. Human presence is concentrated at sites like the Turkey Springs Guard Station and Turkey Springs Campground, alongside working properties like Snow Angel Ranch and Texas Ranch. A complex system of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails indicates a working landscape of timber and cattle rather than established towns, centered around the prominent Chris Mountain.
