About this map

Mining operations and high-country ranching define this portion of the Routt National Forest during the early 1960s. The landscape is punctuated by numerous extraction sites, including the Master Key Mine, Royal Flush Mine, and the Blue Jay Mine, reflecting a long history of mineral exploration in the region. The settlement of Hahns Peak sits at the center of the sheet, overlooked by the Hahns Peak Lookout Tower atop its namesake summit.

Evidence of local transportation and water management is visible through the presence of a Landing Strip and the Lester Creek Reservoir. To the north, the small community of Columbine is situated near several creeks, including Summit Creek and Independence Creek. The topography is dominated by prominent peaks such as Iron Mountain, Grouse Mountain, and Beryl Mountain, while agricultural activity is noted at the Bootjack Ranch along Lester Creek.
