1963 Map of Nipple Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

West Dolores River carves a deep valley through the high country of the San Juan National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for movement and recreation in this part of Colorado. The 1963 survey captures a landscape defined by water management and forest service infrastructure, dotted with numerous small-scale irrigation and stock water sources like Zwicker Reservoir and Drift Fence Reservoir. The presence of the Cottonwood Guard Station and established sites like Mavreeso Campground and Emerson Campground reflects the mid-century development of public land management and outdoor access. Elevated terrain such as Nipple Mountain and Stoner Mesa provide the dramatic verticality of the region, while a network of jeep and pack trails connects remote points like Pease Point and the family-named King Ranch Spring.
