1973 Map of Snipe Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in the early 1970s, defined by its steep plateaus and seasonal livestock operations. Remote outposts like Blumberg Camp and Musser Cow Camp are scattered across the terrain, reflecting the region's historical reliance on summer grazing ranges. The topography is dominated by massive landforms such as Kelso Mesa and Long Point Mountain, which overlook deep drainages. A network of primitive ways and jeep trails provides the only access into the Escalante Breaks and the headwaters of the North Fork Escalante Creek. This survey captures the working character of the Mesa County backcountry, where features like Beaver Dam Reservoir and Calhoun Cow Camp mark the small human footprint in a territory shaped by dramatic vertical relief and high-country benches.
