1967 Map of Mount Sneffels

About this map

High peaks and alpine basins dominate this 1967 survey of the San Juan Mountains, where the dramatic elevation change from Miller Mesa to the summit of Mount Sneffels is clearly charted. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of Dallas Creek, which drains north through a series of steep draws and meadows like Elder Spring Meadow. Evidence of the region’s industrial and ranching history is scattered throughout the terrain, from the Blaine Mine tucked into Blaine Basin to remote sites like McClure Camp and Vance Place.
