1963 Map of Hightower Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest and the White River National Forest meet at a jurisdictional boundary on this 1963 survey, which documents a high-country landscape shaped by resource extraction and forest management. Early energy development is evident through numerous Gas Wells and a Pipeline cutting through the terrain, while the Hightower Guard Station and Buzzard Campground mark the human footprint within the timberlands. The hydrology of the area is complex, defined by drainage systems such as Buzzard Creek, Hightower Creek, and East Mamm Creek, which flow through deep gulches and across high plateaus like Sunflower Flat. Dominating the southeastern quadrant is the summit of Hightower Mountain, while the northern reaches include Mud Hill and the headwaters of West Branch Dry Hollow.
