1962 Map of Suicide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

White River National Forest dominates this 1962 landscape in Eagle County, showing a complex network of high-elevation water management and mountain terrain. Irrigation infrastructure is particularly prominent in the northern reaches, where the McBrayer and Fenner Ditch, Chatfield Ditch, and Swamp Ditch demonstrate early ranching and agricultural efforts to divert runoff from Gypsum Creek. The map records a transition from these lower drainages up to prominent peaks like Suicide Mountain and Red Table Mountain, the latter of which features a specific Drill Hole landmark. Historical land use is evidenced by Quaker Corral and the establishment of the Gypsum Creek Campground, alongside numerous jeep and pack trails that weave through the Hardscrabble Mountain area. Small water bodies, including Fish Pond Lake and Borah Lake, are nestled within the timbered basins, illustrating the seasonal hydrology of the Colorado high country during the mid-twentieth century.
