1972 Map of Jacks Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this high-altitude landscape, where deep drainages like Big Dominguez Canyon and Farmers Canyon carve through the plateau. The terrain is defined by a network of seasonal watercourses and prominent landforms such as Gibbler Mountain, showing a primitive infrastructure of Jeep Trails and a Pack Trail that speak to the area's use for grazing and exploration. Near Nancy Hanks Gulch and Taylor Gulch, several Mines, Prospects, and a Quarry indicate the area's mineral interest during the mid-20th century. The principal thoroughfare, Divide Road, follows the high ground above the steep descent into Unaweep Creek, providing a primary route through the rugged wilderness south of the Colorado River valley.
