1955 Map of Pitchpine Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Carlstrom Brothers Ranch and Brands Ranch anchor the high-altitude agricultural landscape of Jackson County, where ranching operations are tied closely to a complex network of irrigation ditches. Recorded in the mid-1950s, this area of the Routt National Forest transitions from the managed water systems of the lower gulches into the steep wilderness surrounding Pitchpine Mountain. An Artesian Well located near Spring Gulch highlights the importance of reliable water sources in this environment. To the west, the terrain rises sharply into the high country, defined by the Roaring Fork and isolated alpine waters such as Red Canyon Lake and Lower Rainbow Lake. A series of backcountry routes, including the Lone Pine Trail and Sunday Creek Trail, provide the primary access through these high-elevation parks and creek basins.
