1968 Map of Pargin Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Pargin Mountain anchors this 1968 survey of the high country along the border of La Plata and Archuleta counties. The landscape is defined by the extensive reaches of the San Juan National Forest, where the topography is incised by numerous drainages like Yellowjacket Creek, Turkey Creek, and Goose Creek. Significant for local land-use history, the map depicts the Southern Ute Indian Reservation Boundary cutting across the southern sections, marking the division between forest and tribal lands. Cultural features are sparse but notable, including the Yellowjacket Guard Station and established routes for moving livestock, such as the Piedra Stock Driveway. Evidence of early access and ranching utility is further shown through the Wagon Road and several canyon names like Armstrong Canyon and Ritter Canyon.
