1963 Map of Flatiron Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

White River National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape on the border of Garfield and Mesa counties. The topography is dominated by massive landforms such as Grand Mesa and Flatiron Mountain, where the terrain drops sharply into a network of drainages including West Divide Creek and Salt Creek. The area's mid-century utility is evident in the Highline Ditch and various gas wells and drill holes that punctuate the mountain ridges. Human activity is largely centered on resource management and backcountry transit, highlighted by the Cayton Guard Station and a system of jeep and pack trails. These routes connect isolated landmarks like Mosquito Lake and named peaks such as Flagpole Mountain and Baldy Mtn. The detailed contouring illustrates the complex gulch systems, including Cayton Gulch and Wade Gulch, which feed the regional watershed.
