1967 Map of Pieplant

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Continental Divide zigzags across this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Taylor River meet the steep slopes of Grizzly Peak and Red Mountain. This 1967 field-checked survey captures the area's transition from a mining frontier to a recreational wilderness, bordered by the Gunnison, White River, and San Isabel national forests. Evidence of former industrial activity is concentrated near Pieplant Creek, where the Pieplant Mine and Pieplant Mill (Site) sit below the timberline. The presence of the Pieplant Cow Camp and Dinner Station Campground suggests a landscape utilized for both seasonal grazing and early mountain tourism. High-country access is defined by a network of primitive routes, including the Timberline Trail and various pack trails crossing through Lake Pass and into Sayres Gulch.
