1962 Map of West Baldy

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape along the border of the Gunnison National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest. This 1962 field-checked survey reveals a remote wilderness defined by water and high peaks, where numerous headwaters like Right Hand Barret Creek and Needle Creek begin their descent. A notable human element in this isolation is the Hughes Mine, accompanied by the Hughes Mine Grave, signifying the solitary and often harsh life of early prospectors in these mountains.
