1961 Map of Electric Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Electric Mountain dominates this portion of the Gunnison National Forest along the border of Delta and Gunnison counties. The 1961 survey documents a landscape of high-altitude ranching and water management, featuring family-held holdings such as the Norells Bell Ranch, Flying M Ranch, and Columbine Ranch. The presence of the Overland Ditch and various smaller irrigation channels, simply labeled Ditch, illustrates the essential infrastructure required to move water across these western slopes. Extensive trail networks, including a dedicated Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail, connect remote landmarks like Chimney Rocks and the West Muddy Ranger Station. The drainage pattern is complex, defined by the many forks of Hubbard Creek and Cow Creek, while the eastern edge features the natural hazards of the Lombard Slides.
