1960 Map of South Mamm Peak

About this map

The Garfield Co Mesa Co line bisects this 1960 survey, a landscape defined by the high elevations of the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest. The topography is dominated by the massive Battlement Mesa, with significant heights reached at South Mamm Peak and Little Baldy. Evidence of early cattle ranching and movement through the high country is found in the network of paths like the Battlement Trail and various unnamed pack trails. In the lower elevations to the southwest, Plateau Creek follows the Clover Sch Road, which once served the local community near Clover Sch. Further east along Buzzard Creek, the Heiberger (Site) marks a former human presence in a territory characterized by steep gulches like Standup Gulch and Slide Gulch. This map provides a look at the intersection of public forest management and rural infrastructure before modern developments shifted the local footprint.
