1961 Map of Mount Pittsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mount Pittsburg and the surrounding high country of the Colorado Front Range are documented here in detail during the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major topographic features, including the massive plateaus of Table Mountain and Wild Mountain. Economic activity in this era is centered on isolated ranching outposts such as Fords Mountaindale Ranch and Pinehurst Ranch, alongside industrial footprints like the Quarries located near the head of Patton Canyon. The presence of a Landing Strip near Turkey Creek Ranch suggests the logistical challenges of this remote terrain. A complex drainage network, characterized by Red Creek and its forks, illustrates how water availability dictated the placement of early settlements and agricultural attempts in the arid rain shadow of the peaks.
