2001 Map of Lake Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

The La Garita Mountains anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Rio Grande National Forest, where the terrain is defined by complex drainages and traditional ranching or grazing grounds. Numerous prospects scattered across the northern ridges suggest early mineral exploration, particularly near Big Dry Gulch. The hydrology of the area is centered on several major tributaries, including Saguache Creek, Squaw Creek, and the Middle Fork Carnero Creek. These watercourses flow through high valleys such as South Park and Lower South Park, eventually meeting at Carnero Pass in the south. The map documents a network of 4wd tracks and trails that provide access to remote landmarks like Mount Lion and the namesake Lake Mountain, illustrating the land's primary use for timber management, recreation, and seasonal resource extraction.
