1973 Map of Moore Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where high mesas are divided by a network of drainage basins and creeks. The 1973 field survey reveals a seasonal grazing economy through scattered outposts such as Beach Cow Camp, 41 Cow Camp, and Boyden Cow Camp. These camps are connected by a system of rugged tracks including Divide Road and the Copper King Road, tracing the ridgelines and valley floors between Monitor Mesa and Traver Mesa. Water sources are vital in this terrain, as evidenced by Cobb Spring, Hilkey Pond, and the numerous creeks flowing through Criswell and Moore Basin. The Presence of the Mesa Guard Sta near the northern boundary reflects the managed nature of these public lands, providing a clear look at the intersection of federal forest administration and traditional ranching operations during the early 1970s.
