1962 Map of Lands End

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this 1960s landscape, showcasing a complex hydraulic network of reservoirs and creeks high atop the mesa. The prominence of water management is evident through numerous named catchments like Bolen Reservoir, the Palisade Res No 3, and the multi-named Bolen, Anderson, and Jacobs Reservoir No. 2. This high-altitude plateau, characterized by the dramatic West Bench and Whitewater Basin, was a critical infrastructure hub for the surrounding region, hosting an Airway Beacon and Radio Towers near Rapid Creek Res No 1. Public recreation and access are clearly defined along the winding Lands End Road, which leads visitors to the Lands End Overlook Picnic Ground and scenic points like Crater View. The presence of the Godding Grade suggests earlier logging or industrial routes integrated into the forest's development.
