About this map

Jelm Mountain dominates this portion of the Albany County landscape, where the high-altitude topography is defined by prominent peaks and a complex network of seasonal drainage. A Jelm Lookout stands atop the mountain's crest, overlooking the remote Cole Ranch and the deep incisions of Pollock Draw and Cathy Draw. This 1963 field survey reveals a terrain shaped by both natural water sources and human engineering, featuring numerous named springs alongside an Aqueduct and scattered Quarries near the southern slopes.

The geological transition from the elevations of Ring Mountain and Red Mountain to the lower basins is traced by Lindsey Creek and Sunrise Creek. Local travel routes are indicated by tracks through Sunrise Pass, providing a detailed view of the access points to early ranching sites and mineral Prospects that characterized this rugged part of the Missouri River Basin development area during the early 1960s.
