2000 Map of Mc Inturf Mesa

About this map

Routt National Forest lands dominate the northeastern corner of this 1970s landscape, where the high-altitude terrain transitions from the timbered slopes of Mc Inturf Mesa and Pinnacle Mountain down toward the drainages of Fortification Creek. The map documents a rugged interior economy of resource extraction and water management, evidenced by the presence of the Seymour Mine and Bridges Mine in the southern hills. Local industrial activity is further noted by several Drill Hole sites and a network of jeep trails providing access to remote peaks like Buck Mountain. Near the southern boundary, Ralph White Lake serves as a primary water feature in an area otherwise defined by seasonal gulches and creeks such as Little Bear Creek and Taylor Creek.
