1971 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates the high-country landscape of the Moffat and Routt county line in this early 1970s survey. The terrain is defined by the prominent peaks of Slide Mountain, Buck Mountain, and Aigner Mountain, which serve as the headwaters for several crucial drainage systems. Water management is a primary feature of the lower elevations, where the Mc Kinlay Ditch, including Mc Kinlay Ditch No 1 and Mc Kinlay Ditch No 2, suggests the historical importance of irrigation in this mountain environment. Historic transit through the backcountry is marked by the Bears Ears Trail (Pack) and other unnamed pack trails. The presence of the Anderson Res and several Gaging Sta markers indicates a landscape carefully monitored for its water resources, vital for the valleys downstream.
