1967 Map of Pool Table Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Rio Grande National Forest high country dominates this landscape, where the La Garita Mountains define the high-altitude terrain of Mineral, Saguache, and Rio Grande counties. The 1967 field check illustrates a remote territory managed for transit and timber, centered on the prominent Pool Table Mountain (Little Pool). The presence of specialized infrastructure like the La Garita Stock Driveway and the Alder Stock Driveway provides an insight-gain into the era's seasonal livestock migrations through the mountains. Numerous high-alpine basins, locally referred to as parks, are scattered throughout the quadrangle, including Viers Park, Blue Park, and Long Park. Drainage networks are complex, with headwaters such as Bellows Creek, Embargo Creek, and the glacial-carved Cañon Nieve feeding into the larger Rio Grande basin. This survey documents the intersection of several county boundaries in a region defined by its wilderness status and historic stock routes.
