1971 Map of Pilot Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Routt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape in Northwest Colorado, where prominent high points and deep drainages define the topography. The terrain is marked by the presence of the Anthracite Ridge and distinct peaks like Pilot Knob and Saddle Mountain. Settlement evidence is sparse, highlighting the area's history as a remote extraction and grazing territory. Of particular interest to local historians is the Deep Creek Cem located near the southern margin, and the Block Mine on the western slopes of Round Mountain. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through the forest, connecting various springs and creek systems such as Armstrong Creek and Day Creek. The inclusion of a singular Drill Hole and specific rim formations like the Coleman Rim Rocks offers insight into the geological surveying and resource exploration active during the early 1970s.
