1964 Map of Rules Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The San Juan National Forest provides the backdrop for this mid-1960s study of the high-elevation terrain near the Los Pinos River. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several major waterways, including the North Fork and South Fork Florida Rivers, which carve through the mountains toward Elks Park. Notable for local researchers is the presence of the Shrock Cem near the headwaters of the Florida River, a distinct marker of early inhabitants in this mountainous region. Settlement is sparse, represented by the small community of Columbus and the topographic high points of Rules Hill and Rabbit Mountain. Evidence of early land management and transportation is found in the Sullivan Ditch and the Vosburg Pike, while numerous unnamed Jeep Trails snake across the canyons, indicating the area's continued use for resource management and backcountry access.
