1961 Map of Mount Pittsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Mount Pittsburg stands as the high point of this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Fremont and El Paso counties during the early 1960s. The map captures a ranching-heavy geography where named holdings like Foote Mountaindale Ranch and Pinehurst Ranch are interspersed between steep canyons and gulches. Evidence of industrial activity is sparse but present in the form of several Quarries and a solitary Quarry located near the West Fork of Red Creek. The presence of a private Landing Strip near the Turkey Creek Ranch in the northeast corner suggests the logistical challenges of managing such expansive mountain terrain. Significant topographical features include the broad plateau of Table Mountain and the distinct peaks of Wild Mountain and Timber Mountain, while Sullivan Park provides a break in the drainage patterns of the East Fork.
