1961 Map of Electric Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Electric Mountain dominates this portion of the Gunnison National Forest along the border of Delta and Gunnison counties. In the early 1960s, the landscape was defined by high-altitude ranching and forest management, evidenced by the Novella Bell Ranch, Flying M Ranch, and the West Muddy Ranger Sta. A distinct transportation network of Pack Trails, Jeep Trails, and the Terror Trail navigates the complex drainage basins of Muddy Creek and Hubbard Creek. Water management is visible through the winding Overland Ditch and a Gaging Sta on the creek. Geological features such as the Chimney Rocks and the Lombard Slides highlight the shifting terrain, while an isolated Landing Strip near the Flying M Ranch underscores the necessity of aerial access in this high-country environment.
