1962 Map of Red Pinnacle

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

Mount Logan dominates the southern skyline of this high-plateau landscape, where the terrain breaks sharply away from the peaks into a complex system of drainages. The Colorado River corridor in the southeast corner provides a striking contrast to the high country, serving as the primary artery for the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad and the Bluestone Valley Ditch. The map reveals an area defined by its water sources, with numerous named springs such as Pritchard Spring and Hayward Spring punctuating the arid gulches. High-altitude routes like the Spruce Point Trail and various unnamed pack trails suggest a landscape used for seasonal grazing or resource access. From the heights of Haystack Mountain to the depths of Bowdish Gulch, the topography illustrates the dramatic transition between Colorado's alpine elevations and its river valleys during the early 1960s.
