1970 Map of Mount Jackson

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The high-altitude drainage systems of White River National Forest dominate this 1970s survey, showing a landscape of extreme elevations and glacially carved basins. The topography is defined by the Holy Cross Ridge and prominent summits including Mount Jackson, Eagle Peak, and Savage Peak. This environment supported seasonal mining and recreation, as evidenced by the Prospect situated on the slopes of Middle Mountain and the Lake Charles Trail leading toward the interior basins. Water is a defining element of the area, with numerous high-country reservoirs and natural bodies like Mystic Island Lake, Fairview Lake, and Treasure Vault Lake feeding into East Lake Creek and Cross Creek. The presence of Tellurium Park and Tellurium Creek suggests a history of mineral exploration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as prospectors sought telluride ores in these difficult-to-reach subalpine zones.
