1962 Map of Crystal Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this section of the Colorado high country, where peaks like West White Pine Mountain and East White Pine Mountain reach above the timberline. The landscape in the early 1960s is defined by a network of resource management and early recreation routes, including numerous Jeep Trails and Pack Trails that connect the Buckhorn Ranger Sta to remote landmarks. A Lookout Tower sits atop one of the summits, while significant elevations like Crystal Mountain and Lookout Mountain overlook the drainage basins of Buckhorn Creek and the North Fork Fish Creek. Human presence is marked by scattered mining activity, noted simply as Mine and Quarry, and the topographic divide at Donner Pass. The map reveals a transition between the lower elevations of Box Prairie and the steep slopes of Bulwark Ridge, reflecting the mid-century utility of the national forest for both fire observation and natural resource extraction.
