1967 Map of Sargents Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Continental Divide snakes through this high-altitude landscape in the late 1960s, marking the hydrological boundary between the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. A primary point of human activity in this wilderness is the Long Branch Guard Station, situated near the confluence of the Long Branch and Wild Dog Creek. The map documents a complex network of transportation routes suited for the terrain, including an Old RR Grade in the northeast corner and various Jeep Trails and Pack Trails crossing the Cochetopa Hills. Notable peaks and plateaus like Long Branch Baldy and Sargents Mesa overlook numerous drainage systems such as Rio Grande Creek and East Sheep Creek, illustrating the remote character of this mountain region.
