1964 Map of Glade Mountain

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines the geography of this mid-1960s survey, dominated by the prominent rise of Glade Mountain and its surrounding network of canyons and draws. This high country landscape is characterized by its vital water sources, including numerous developed reservoirs such as McKinney Reservoir, Snag Reservoir, and the numerically designated The Disappointment Reservoir No 1 and Disappointment Reservoir No 2. A Lookout Tower sits atop Glade Mountain, positioned for fire surveillance over the drainage basins of McKinney Creek and Disappointment Creek. The land use of the era is evident through infrastructure like The Glade road and a network of named springs such as Bradfield Spring and Glade Mtn Spring, which provided essential water in a region marked by deep gulches and significant elevation changes, from Thomas Mtn to the floor of Cash Gulch.
