1960 Map of South Mamm Peak

About this map

South Mamm Peak towers over a landscape defined by the intersection of the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest. The map documents a rugged high-altitude transition where steep ridges like Battlement Mesa and Bald Mountain drop toward the drainage basin of Buzzard Creek. The southern portion of the sheet reveals the traces of early livestock and agricultural activity, specifically around the Clover Sch and the Heiberger (Site) near Horse Gulch. This 1960 field-checked survey preserves the layout of local infrastructure before late-century changes, showing the Clover Sch Road and numerous pack trails such as the Battlement Trail. Notable landmarks like Spruce Point and its radio tower overlook a complex system of gulches and creeks, including Collier Creek and Bloss Creek, which shaped the movement and settlement patterns of this part of Mesa County.
