1960 Map of Haystack Gulch

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, where the complex drainage systems of Rabbit Creek and its North, Middle, and South Forks converge. The terrain is defined by rugged landmarks like Sheep Mountain and Blacktail Point, with deep cuts through the topography including Teakettle Canyon and Hole Canyon. Settled activity in this high-altitude area is concentrated near the Red Feather Lakes Road, where the community of Log Cabin and the Lone Pine Sch represent the local centers of social and civic life during the early 1960s. The presence of numerous named springs and grazing areas like Bull Garden and the Prairie Divide suggests a landscape utilized for ranching and timber, while the distinct profile of Haystack Butte and the winding course of Lone Pine Creek anchor the southern portion of the survey.
