1960 Map of Windy Point

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mesa and Montrose counties. In the early 1960s, this area served as active rangeland and timber country, evidenced by isolated outposts like Porters Cow Camp and The Meadows Ranch. The topography is defined by a complex network of drainages including Big Atkinson Creek, Shavano Creek, and North Fork Tabeguache Creek that carve through prominent elevations such as Windy Point, Spruce Mtn, and Round Mtn.
