1964 Map of West Beckwith Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

West Beckwith Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape within the Gunnison National Forest, where the terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and flat-topped mesas like Coal Creek Mesa and Snowshoe Mesa. The map captures a mid-1960s snapshot of land use where the primitive boundary of the Elk Mountains Wilderness meets working ranch lands. Small human outposts, such as Davenport Ranch and the Little Robinson Cow Camp, are scattered across the quadrangle, connected only by a network of jeep trails and pack trails. This era shows the transition of the high country from a purely resource-driven economy toward recreation and conservation, evidenced by the presence of a Ranger Station and designated wilderness areas. Water sources like Gunnison Lake and the various forks of Robinson Creek provide critical points of reference for navigating the complex geography of Moseley Ridge and Kaufman Ridge.
