1967 Map of Lake Mountain

About this map

The La Garita Mountains define the high-elevation terrain of this region within the Rio Grande National Forest, where a complex network of seasonal creeks and gulches drains the southern Colorado landscape. Water sources like Saguache Creek, Luders Creek, and Squaw Creek cut through the topography, which is marked by several high-altitude parks, including South Park, Lower South Park, and Sunnyside Park. While the land is largely undeveloped, the presence of various Prospects suggests early mineral exploration in the hills near Mount Lion. Steep elevation changes are navigable primarily via the Jeep Trail and old forest tracks that connect the remote basins. Features like Carnero Pass and Lake Mountain serve as key landmarks for those tracing the historic land use and backcountry access points of the late 1960s.
