1962 Map of Housetop Mountain

About this map

White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mesa and Garfield counties. The topography is defined by the massive plateau of Battlement Mesa, reaching significant heights at peaks like Horse Mountain and Housetop Mountain. This 1960s survey illustrates a region largely defined by its drainage systems and natural basins, where Wallace Creek and the North Fork Wallace Creek cut through the northern slopes, while the southern reaches descend toward Lugans Basin.
