1987 Map of Touch-Me-Not Mountain

About this map

Philmont Scout Ranch dominates the northern half of this landscape, characterized by a network of trail camps such as Black Horse Camp, Miranda Camp, and Ute Meadows Camp. The terrain is defined by the high peaks of the Cimarron Range, including the prominent Touch-Me-Not Mountain and Green Mountain. This 1980s survey captures a transition between managed wilderness and resource extraction, shown by the proximity of the Horseshoe Mine and various Prospect sites to the Colin Neblett State Wildlife Area. To the west, the shoreline of Eagle Nest Lake meets the slopes near the site of Virginia City. The map details the drainage patterns of the Cimarron Canyon, where the Cimarron River is fed by tributaries like Maverick Creek and Tolby Creek. Cultural landmarks such as a remote Cemetery and Radio Towers are noted among the steep contours of the Beaubien and Miranda Grant.
