1964 Map of Lone Cone

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Lone Cone towers over this landscape at the intersection of San Miguel and Dolores counties, anchoring a high-country region defined by ranching and water management. The mapping reflects a specialized mountain economy in the mid-1960s, where seasonal operations like Redd Ranchs Summer Camp, Barrett Cow Camp, and Davis Sheep Camp are scattered across the flats and gulches. Significant irrigation and water storage infrastructure is evident through the presence of Miramonte Reservoir, Stockdale Reservoir, and the Lilylands Canal system, which redirects flow from various branches of Naturita Creek. The southern portion of the map transitions into the high peaks of the Uncompahgre National Forest, where features such as Preachers Hole and the Devils Chair suggest a rugged, high-elevation terrain that challenged early surveyors and continues to serve as an active range for local livestock operations.
