1967 Map of Laughlin Gulch

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this landscape in the late 1960s, a rugged high-altitude terrain defined by deep drainages and cattle-grazing infrastructure. The Laughlin Stock Driveway cuts across the northern slopes, providing a critical route for moving livestock through the mountains between Saguache Creek and the southern parklands. The topography is marked by significant peaks like Sierra de La Lola, Spruce Mountain, and Tracy Mountain, which tower over the intricate network of gulches including Housetop Gulch and Laughlin Gulch. Evidence of seasonal use and remote passage is found at Big Springs Campground and the San Juan Creek Trail, while Fullerton Park sits in the southern portion of the quadrangle. Springs such as Boland Spring and Houghland Hill Spring provide vital water sources in this dry mountain environment where water drainage is funneled through Mill Creek and Tracy Canyon.
