1962 Map of Elkhorn Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-elevation terrain, mapped during the early 1960s as part of the Department of the Interior's Missouri River Basin development program. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Little Snake River, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Whiskey Park Creek and King Solomon Creek. Cultural markers in this wilderness are sparse but significant for local history, notably the Dead Mexican Park Grave located near the southern reaches of Big Red Park. High-altitude industry is represented by the Elkhorn Mine situated on the slopes of Elkhorn Mountain, while administrative presence is marked by the Summit Creek Guard Station. A network of transportation, including a Summit Trail, Pack Trail, and various Jeep Trails, indicates the movement of forest rangers, miners, and recreationists through the Circle Bar Basin and toward City Mountain.
