1967 Map of Mesa Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest and the high ridges of the La Garita Mountains dominate this 1967 field-checked survey of the Saguache and Mineral County line. The map captures a landscape defined by seasonal movement and extraction, where the La Garita Stock Driveway and other Stock Driveway routes trace through the high country alongside an intricate network of Pack Trail and Jeep Trail paths. High-altitude mining history is represented by the Sky City Mine and several other unnamed Mines located near the headwaters of Wannamaker Creek. The hydrology of the region is exceptionally detailed, showing the convergence of the Lake Fork Saguache Creek, South Fork Saguache Creek, and Deep Creek, all of which feed into the primary Saguache Creek drainage. Geographic markers like Sheep Mountain and the water at Laguna Hilda provide fixed reference points within the expansive La Garita Wilderness.
