1961 Map of Red Creek

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Red Table Mountain dominates the center of this high-elevation landscape within the White River National Forest, forming a massive east-west divide between the drainages of the Fryingpan River and Gypsum Creek. The map documents a wilderness transitioning into a managed recreational and water-resource area in the early 1960s. High-altitude landmarks like Lost Lake and the Ragged Lakes are connected by an extensive network of Pack Trails, while the L. E. D. E. Reservoir and Antoine Spring suggest the importance of water management in this arid alpine environment. In the southern reaches, evocative names such as Saloon Gulch and Frenchman Creek hint at the area's prospecting or early settlement history. The presence of the Red Creek Campground and various Jeep Trails underscores the shift toward seasonal recreation and forestry access during this era.
