1967 Map of Lime Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this high-altitude Saguache County landscape, where the drainage networks of Biedell Creek and Lime Creek carve through the terrain. The 1967 survey reveals a working wilderness, evidenced by a designated Stock Driveway and numerous mines and prospects scattered across the eastern slopes near Sanderson Gulch. The resource-driven economy of the era is further marked by a network of jeep trails providing access to isolated points like San Juan Trail Spring and the upper reaches of Poison Gulch. In the northern section, the topography falls away toward Red Rock Canyon and Fullerton Creek, illustrating the complex watershed system that feeds into North Fork Carnero Creek. This map is a record of mid-century land management, balancing industrial interest with the vast public lands of the National Forest system.
