1985 Map of Mount Linnaeus

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this mid-1980s topographical survey, centered on the high elevations of the Abajo Mountains in San Juan County. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief, from the summit of Mount Linnaeus to the deep incisions of Allen Canyon and Tuerto Canyon. A specialized network of water management and livestock support is evident in the placement of the Gaging Station and various water sources like Jack Spring and Bayles Spring. Notable landmarks such as The Causeway and the evocatively named Skull and Crossbones indicate a landscape where travel was dictated by sharp ridges and steep canyon walls. This survey captures the wilderness character of the region before modern digital mapping, preserving the locations of high-altitude features like Robertson Pasture and Aspen Flat used for seasonal grazing and forest management.
