1961 Map of Spruce Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Grand Mesa dominates this early 1960s survey, where the convergence of the White River, Grand Mesa, and Gunnison National Forests defines a landscape of high plateaus and drainage basins. Evidence of early resource exploration and ranching is visible at Oil Well Camp, situated near the peak of Oil Well Mountain, and Buzzard Cow Camp along the western edge. The map captures a complex network of water sources, including the headwaters of Logpile Creek, Crooked Creek, and the uniquely named No Good Park. Of particular interest to local historians is the Drill Hole near Logpile Creek and a Pack Trail in the north, indicating historical transit and prospecting routes through the high country before modern road development reshaped the region.
