1964 Map of Granite Peak

About this map

Tuckerville and the nearby Mine and Prospects sit atop the high ridges of the San Juan National Forest in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by the steep drainage of the Los Pinos River, which carves through the Weminuche Wilderness between massive summits like Granite Peak and Runlett Peak. The map documents a rugged working landscape where livestock and timber interests are represented by the long Pine-Piedra Stock Driveway and various pack trails. Along the western edge, the Granite Peak Ranch provides a rare point of permanent habitation in an otherwise roadless terrain dominated by deep canyons like Blue Spruce Canyon and the high elevations of the Three Sisters Peaks.
