1971 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates the high-altitude terrain along the boundary of Moffat and Routt Counties in the early 1970s. The landscape is defined by the high peaks of Slide Mountain, Buck Mountain, and Agner Mountain, which give rise to a network of alpine drainage systems. Water management is a primary theme of this survey, evidenced by the presence of Anderson Reservoir and the elaborate irrigation infrastructure of the Tipton Ditch and multiple segments of the Mc Kinlay Ditch. These man-made channels contrast with the natural flow of Elkhead Creek and the North Fork. The map documents technical infrastructure such as several drill holes and multiple gaging stations along the creek banks, illustrating the active monitoring of this mountain environment's vital resources.
