1955 Map of Pitchpine Mountain

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in Jackson County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by the steep descent of the Roaring Fork and the waters of Red Canyon Reservoir. The eastern foothills transition into a ranching economy, marked by established family operations such as the Carlstrom Brothers Ranch and Brands Ranch. This area reveals a complex water management system of ditches—including the Wolfer and Manville networks—essential for sustaining these high-country pastures.
