1967 Map of Lake Mountain NE

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Saguache Creek meanders through the southern portion of this landscape, carving a valley between high points like Castle Rock and Houghland Hill. This late-1960s survey, mapped by the U.S. Forest Service, documents a mountainous section of the Rio Grande National Forest characterized by a dense network of watercourses including Middle Creek, Cross Creek, and Bear Creek. Human activity is concentrated along the creek bottoms and lower slopes, where a Gaging Sta monitors the flow of the Saguache and a modern pipeline cuts across the southeastern terrain. Local history and early industry are marked by the presence of the Jacks Creek Cem and a nearby Mine tucked into the drainage of Jacks Creek. The map also captures several primitive routes, including a jeep trail and various trails, which provided access to remote gulches like Ward Gulch and Poison Gulch during this era.
