1963 Map of Quaker Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Quaker Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this high-altitude region where the boundaries of Mesa, Gunnison, Pitkin, and Garfield counties converge. This 1963 field-checked survey reveals a wilderness defined by its complex drainage network, notably the headwaters of West Divide Creek and East Divide Creek. Much of the territory falls within the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, reflecting a mid-century era of managed federal lands. While largely devoid of permanent settlements, the map documents early resource exploration with labels for a Gas Well and Drill Hole. The terrain is characterized by high alpine parks like North Baylor Park and Mancon Park, alongside prominent summits such as Flat Top Mountain and Haystack Mountain. A network of jeep trails and a prominent pipeline indicate the infrastructure required to navigate and tap this high-country environment.
