1971 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates the northern half of this landscape, where the high-altitude divide between Slide Mountain and Buck Mountain separates the complex drainage systems of the region. The map documents the early 1970s water management infrastructure, most notably the Tipton Ditch and the twin channels of Mc Kinlay Ditch No 1 and Mc Kinlay Ditch No 2 that diverted water along the lower slopes. These irrigation features, alongside Anderson Res, underscore the critical role of mountain snowmelt in supporting the lower basins. Traditional high-country access is marked by the Bears Ears Trail (Pack), a route that reflects the historic movement of livestock and pack teams through the timber and meadows of the Moffat and Routt county border.
