1966 Map of Sawmill Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Rio Blanco County, characterized by a complex network of drainages and mountain ridges during the mid-1960s. Resource extraction and backcountry access are evident through numerous mines and prospects scattered across the northern slopes, particularly near Coal Creek. The terrain is navigated by a system of jeep trails and pack trails that link landmarks like Sawmill Mountain and Hay Park. Water management is represented by the Feeder Ditch in the northeast, while the southern portion of the quadrangle is dominated by the confluence of Beaver Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Beaver Creek and East Beaver Creek. This survey captures the area before modern development, showing the primitive road network and various drill holes that suggest a landscape shaped by both natural wilderness and geological exploration.
