1967 Map of Mount Sneffels

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Mount Sneffels towers over a high-altitude landscape of the Uncompahgre National Forest defined by steep basins and the headwaters of Dallas Creek. This mid-century survey documents a transition from the heavy mining of earlier decades to a terrain marked by ranching outposts and high-country trails. Evidence of the region’s industrial history is found in the Blaine Mine and an Old RR Grade tucked into the western slopes, while smaller outposts like Vance Place and Kelly Camp denote the seasonal human presence in these alpine reaches. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the drainage systems of Stough Draw and Blaine Draw alongside established landmarks such as Miller Mesa and Mears Peak. For the researcher, the map captures the late 1960s state of these peaks before modern wilderness designations shifted the use of the land.
