1962 Map of Red Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Mount Logan and Red Pinnacle dominate this vertical landscape in the early 1960s, a region defined by steep drainages and a network of primitive transport routes. The southern edge of the map shows the transition from the high plateau to the river valley, where the Colorado River runs alongside the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This narrow corridor represents the primary industrial and transport artery for the area, contrasting with the wilderness to the north. A web of paths including the Jeep Trail and various unnamed Pack Trails weave through deep cuts like Bowdish Gulch and Logan Wash, providing access to isolated water sources such as Pritchard Spring. Irrigation infrastructure is also evident near the river, specifically the Bluestone Valley Ditch, which supported local agricultural efforts in this arid Garfield County terrain.
