1963 Map of Hightower Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The high plateau of Grand Mesa dominates this western Colorado landscape, showing a complex network of drainage basins and mountain trails within the White River National Forest. The map documents a rugged interior geography where the Hightower Guard Station serves as a central landmark for forest management. Numerous watercourses, including Buzzard Creek and East Mamm Creek, carve through the terrain, while landmarks like Mud Hill and Hightower Mountain provide significant vertical relief. Evidence of mid-century industrial activity appears through several marked Gas Wells and a Gravel Pit, indicating the early stages of energy and infrastructure development in this high-altitude region. Transportation is defined by a sparse network of unpaved routes, such as East Road and the Bennet Pack Trail, which follow the natural contours of the gulches and ridges.
