1973 Map of Granite Lake

About this map

Granite Peak Guard Sta stands as a focal point for backcountry management within the high-elevation wilderness of the San Juan National Forest. Situated in the early 1970s, this area is defined by the sharp verticality of the Continental Divide, where the headwaters of the Los Pinos River and Weminuche Creek begin their descent. The landscape is a complex of high-altitude basins and alpine lakes, including Granite Lake and the Divide Lakes, accessible only by an intricate system of pack and foot trails.
