1971 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this landscape, covering a high-elevation terrain defined by the triple peaks of Slide Mountain, Buck Mountain, and Agner Mountain. The 1971 survey reveals an intricate network of remote infrastructure, where seasonal Pack Trail routes and the historic Bears Ears Trail cross the Moffat and Routt County line. Water management is central to the area's utility, visible through the engineered paths of the Tipton Ditch and dual Mc Kinlay Ditch No 1 and No 2. These systems, along with the Anderson Res and several Gaging Stations along the North Fork Elkhead Creek, illustrate how high-country snowmelt was captured and directed for use downstream. The presence of multiple Drill Holes suggests localized geologic exploration amidst the drainage basins of Sawmill Creek and Dry Fork Little Bear Creek.
