1994 Map of North Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

North Mountain dominates the landscape of this high-plateau region on the border of San Miguel and Dolores counties. The topography is defined by massive landforms like Hamilton Mesa and Island Mesa, carved by a network of seasonal watercourses such as Dry Creek and Nelson Creek. This 1994 edition, based on earlier surveys, reveals a landscape utilized for ranching and resource management, evidenced by Jensens Cow Camp and several corrals scattered throughout the basins. Local transit is primarily facilitated by primitive paths like the Butterfly Trail and the Old Salt Grade Road. The map also details the extensive Dry Creek Basin State Wildlife Area, while human activity is further indicated by radio towers and facilities near the mountain peaks. Small bodies of water including Spencer Lake and Galloway Lake provide critical points of interest in this arid terrain.
