1967 Map of Lake Mountain NE

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Rio Grande National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a network of drainage systems feeding into the Saguache Creek valley. Surveyed in the late 1960s, the terrain shows a transition from high ridges and peaks like Houghland Hill to deep cuts like Polson Creek and Tree Lane Gulch. Human presence is sparse but concentrated along drainage routes, where a Jeep Trail and various pipelines navigate the elevation changes. Evidence of early land use and local industry is preserved through the presence of a Mine and a Gravel Pit, while the remote Jacks Creek Cem serves as a lone genealogical marker for the families who once worked these drainages. Scientific monitoring is noted at a Gaging Sta along the creek, underscoring the importance of water management in this arid mountain environment.
