1961 Map of Marcellina Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Marcellina Mtn and the soaring peaks of the Ruby Range dominate this high-elevation corner of the Gunnison National Forest. Photogrammetric methods from 1958 aerial surveys illustrate a complex network of glacial cirques including Swan Basin, Buck Basin, and Gold Basin. The presence of the West Side Cow Camp and specialized routes like the Munsey Ruby Stock Driveway highlight the region's historic use for seasonal livestock grazing. Steep drainages such as Dark Canyon Creek and Ruby Anthracite Creek carve through the landscape, while dramatic natural landmarks like the Devils Stairway and The Dyke underscore the geologic intensity of the area. This survey documents the transition from high-country ranching infrastructure to pure wilderness management within the White River National Forest boundaries.
