1960 Map of South Mamm Peak

About this map

Battlement Mesa and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the White River National Forest dominate this landscape, which straddles the border between Garfield and Mesa counties. The mapping highlights a transition from the prominent summits of South Mamm Peak and Little Baldy down to the creek-carved lowlands where early development took root. A former community presence is marked at Heiberger (Site), located near the confluence of Standup Gulch and Buzzard Creek. Infrastructure of the early 1960s is represented by a Radio Tower, Gas Well sites, and a Gaging Sta on Brush Creek. The presence of the Clover Sch on Plateau Peninsula suggests a small, dispersed ranching or homesteading community. Connectivity throughout this remote area relies on a network of Pack Trails, Jeep Trails, and the historic Battlement Trail.
