1971 Map of Quaker Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this northern Colorado landscape, where steep drainages and mountain peaks defined the limits of local industry in the early 1970s. The settlement of Elkhead sits near the confluence of several high-country waterways, including Elkhead Creek and the curiously named Hole-in-the-Wall Creek. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Quaker Mountain and Baldy Peak, with lower slopes dissected by narrow gulches such as Bull Gulch and Jones Draw. A single Mine located in the southeastern corner suggests the persistent search for mineral wealth that characterized the region's history. While the area is largely defined by its natural features, including the distinct Finger Rock and Agner Mountain, a network of Jeep Trails provides the primary evidence of human access into these high-altitude timber and grazing lands.
