1971 Map of Quaker Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Routt National Forest landscape is defined by high-elevation terrain and a network of drainage basins in the early 1970s. The small settlement of Elkhead serves as a central reference point among the varied peaks and ridges of the region. Prominent geological features include the 9,370-foot summit of Quaker Mountain and the distinctive Finger Rock, which rises above Jones Creek. The map shows a landscape transitioning between natural wilderness and early resource utilization, evidenced by the presence of a Mine in the southeastern corner and isolated structures like the Mc Kinlay No 2 and various Silo and Corral locations. A complex hydrological system of seasonal and perennial streams, such as Hole-in-the-Wall Creek, Stukey Creek, and Mill Creek, flows through the canyons and gulches, illustrating the natural water management of the upper Colorado high country.
