1967 Map of Pine Cone Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest dominates this landscape along the boundary between Saguache and Rio Grande counties, where high-altitude ranching and timber interests shaped the early 20th-century economy. The presence of La Garita Cow Camp and the La Garita Stock Driveway indicates the importance of seasonal grazing in these uplands. Topographic highlights include Cyclone Mountain and the distinct Pine Cone Knob, with numerous drainages like Embargo Creek and Baughman Creek carving through the terrain. Small-scale industrial activity is evidenced by scattered Mines north of the mountain, while recreation appears at Cathedral Campground near the dramatic Cathedral Rock. A network of pack trails and jeep trails provides insight into the accessibility of this mountainous interior during the late 1960s.
