1950 Map of Pine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

The Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this mid-century topographical study, reflecting a landscape defined by deep canyons and high plateaus. The topography is intricately detailed, showing the complex drainage systems of Calamity Creek and Cow Creek as they cut through the Mesa County terrain. Notable high points like Pine Mountain and Wolf Hill provide structural anchors for the map, while several livestock-related water features such as Rim Pond and Big Pond suggest the ranching utility of this high-country acreage. Remote access is documented through the Snowshoe Trail and Basin Trail, which navigate the steep descents into Yellowjacket Canyon and North Fork Canyon. This map was produced in cooperation with the United States Atomic Energy Commission, an unusual collaboration that highlights the era's focus on mineral exploration and strategic resource mapping in the Western United States.
