1963 Map of Nipple Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

San Juan National Forest lands dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the high-elevation terrain of southwestern Colorado. The network of drainage basins is well-defined, with West Dolores River cutting through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by prominent features like Nipple Mountain and Stoner Mesa. The landscape is characterized by its high-altitude water management, as evidenced by a series of named catchments including Zwicker Reservoir No 1, Geren Reservoir, and Oak Reservoir. Human activity is primarily limited to recreational and administrative sites along the river corridor, such as Mavreeso Campground and the Cottonwood Guard Station. These labels, along with the numerous Trail and Jeep Trail markers, illustrate a wilderness being managed for forestry and public access before significant modern developments altered the remote character of the Dolores and Montezuma county line.
