1961 Map of Red Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Battle (Site) sits high in the Sierra Madre range, serving as a primary point of historical interest on this 1961 survey of Carbon County. Located along the Continental Divide, this area preserves the layout of a mountain community and its nearby Battle Cem. The landscape is defined by the high-elevation drainage systems of the Encampment River and its North Fork, which carve through the Medicine Bow National Forest. Evidence of early industrial activity is visible at the Rambler Mine and various prospects scattered near Cow Creek. Notable peaks including Red Mountain and Doane Peak anchor the rugged topography, while the Cow Creek Reservoir and Silver Lake represent the managed water resources crucial to this high-country environment. The presence of a Jeep Trail suggests the primitive nature of transportation across these steep ridges during the early 1960s.
