1963 Map of Monument Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The high alpine environment of the San Juan National Forest defines this 1963 field-checked survey, dominated by a complex network of drainages and peaks north of Durango. Prospectors and miners left their mark across these slopes, evidenced by named sites like the Oro Fino Mine, Checkmate Mine, and Mary Mine. The terrain is characterized by steep descents into water bodies such as Hermosa Creek and Clear Creek, with prominent landmarks like Monument Hill and Sliderock Mountain anchoring the central topography.
