1961 Map of Red Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Red Table Mountain dominates this portion of the White River National Forest, its high ridges forming a massive divider between the watersheds of Gypsum Creek and the Fryingpan River. The 1961 survey documents a landscape of high-altitude hydrology, where smaller alpine features like Muckey Lake, Rock Lake, and the cluster of Ragged Lakes sit perched above steep drainages. In the south, the terrain falls away toward Saloon Gulch and Frenchman Creek, suggesting a history of early mountaineering and perhaps prospector-named landmarks. The map also records early recreation and management infrastructure, such as the Red Creek Campground and the L. E. D. E. Reservoir, alongside a network of high-country routes like the Pack Trail winding through Cabin Creek. Named gulches such as Schoolhouse Gulch and Bear Gulch reflect the local nomenclature of the Eagle County backcountry during the mid-twentieth century.
